Abstract

Advancement in nanotechnology has allowed the fabrication of nanometer-sized magnetic-responsive particles, and when mixed with carrier fluid, a type of smart fluid is developed, known as magnetorheological (MR) fluid. The magnetic nanoparticles are typically made of carbonyl iron, powder iron, or iron-cobalt alloys, whereas frequently employed carrier fluids include mineral and silicone oils, synthetic hydrocarbons, polyethers, polyesters and water [1]. Under varying magnetic fields, MR fluids can exhibit a rapid, reversible and tune-able transition between a liquid state (off-state) and a more viscous semi-solid state (on-state) [2].
