Abstract

Both electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) fluids are known to be smart materials which can be rapidly and reversibly transformed from a fluid-like to a solid-like state within milliseconds by showing dramatic and tunable changes in their rheological properties under external electrical or magnetic field strength, respectively. Here, among various smart composite particles studied, recently developed core-shell structured polystyrene/graphene oxide composite based ER material as well as the dual-step functionally coated carbonyl iron composite based MR material are briefly reviewed along with their rheological characteristics under external fields.
