Abstract
In order to improve the dispersion of magnetic particles in a rubber matrix, the surfaces of the particles were modified using a sol-gel method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used to confirm the formation of the core-shell particles. Carbonyl iron (CI) particles were used in the fabrication of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) and the dispersion of the coated particles in the rubber matrices was observed using SEM. It was found that the dispersion of the particles was improved when they had been coated with a layer of polysiloxane before.
