Comprehensive magnetic particle stability together with compatibility between them and liquid medium (silicone oil) is still a crucial issue in the case of magnetorheological (MR) suspensions to guarantee their overall stability and MR performance. Therefore, this study is aimed at improving the interfacial stability between the carbonyl iron (CI) particles and silicone oil. In this respect, the particles were modified with polymer brushes and dendritic structures of poly(2-(trimethylsilyloxy)ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMATMS), called CI-brushes or CI-dendrites, respectively, and their stability properties (corrosion, thermo-oxidation, and sedimentation) were compared to neat CI ones. Compatibility of the obtained particles and silicone oil was investigated using contact angle and off-state viscosity investigation. Finally, the magneto-responsive capabilities in terms of yield stress and reproducibility of the MR phenomenon were thoroughly investigated. It was found that MR suspensions based on CI-brushes had significantly improved compatibility properties than those of neat CI ones; however, the CI-dendrites-based suspension possessed the best capabilities, while the MR performance was negligibly suppressed.
在磁流变(MR)悬浮液中,综合磁颗粒稳定性以及它们与液体介质(硅油)之间的兼容性,仍然是确保其整体稳定性和磁流变性能的关键问题。因此,本研究旨在提高羰基铁(CI)颗粒与硅油之间的界面稳定性。在这方面,分别用聚(甲基丙烯酸2-(三甲基硅氧基)乙酯)(PHEMATMS)的聚合物刷和树枝状结构对颗粒进行改性,分别称为CI-刷或CI-树枝状结构,并将它们的稳定性特性(腐蚀、热氧化和沉降)与纯CI颗粒进行比较。通过接触角和零场粘度研究来考察所得颗粒与硅油的兼容性。最后,对屈服应力和磁流变现象的重现性方面的磁响应能力进行了深入研究。结果发现,基于CI-刷的磁流变悬浮液的兼容性性能比纯CI悬浮液有显著改善;然而,基于CI-树枝状结构的悬浮液具有最佳性能,而磁流变性能的抑制可以忽略不计。
