Equilibrium kink-like torsion deformation of a magnetoactive elastomer under a magnetic field

A novel effect involving the formation of a stable kink-like torsion deformation in a magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) beam subjected to a uniform magnetic field is theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed. The phenomenon was demonstrated using an elastomer beam containing soft magnetic carbonyl iron microparticles within a silicone matrix. The torsion kink acts as a transition boundary between two undeformed homogeneous states of the beam. We show that the elastic moment is compensated by a magnetoelastic moment in the kink region, where the local magnetization of the beam is non-collinear to the applied magnetic field due to shape anisotropy. It is established that within the kink region, the MAE beam exists in a non-uniformly elastically deformed, low-symmetry magnetic state. Outside the kink, the beam's magnetization is collinear with the magnetic field, corresponding to an undeformed, high-symmetry homogeneous magnetic state.

Critical bending and magnetic shape memory effect in magnetoactive elastomers

The results of a study of magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs) consisting of an elastomer matrix with embedded ferromagnetic particles are presented. A continuous critical bending induced by the magnetic field, characterized by a critical exponent for the bending magnitude, and the derivative of which has a singularity in the critical region is reported for the first time. The mechanical stability loss and the symmetry reduction of the magnetic state, which are interrelated with each other, take place at the critical point. The magnetization in the high-symmetric state (below the critical point) is directed along the magnetic field and the torque is absent. Above the critical point, the magnetization and the magnetic field are noncollinear and there arises a torque, which is self-consistent with the bending. The magnetic field dependence of the MAE bending was found to have a hysteresis, which is associated with the magneto-rheological effect. The shape memory effect was also obtained for the MAE bending in a cycle consisting of magnetization, cooling (at H=/0), and heating (at H=0). The influence of the critical glass transition temperature of the matrix, as well as its melting/solidification temperature, on the magnetic shape memory effect was studied.

Magnetoactive elastomer based on superparamagnetic nanoparticles with Curie point close to room temperature

A magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) consisting of single-domain La0.8Ag0.2Mn1.2O3 nanoparticles with a Curie temperature close to room temperature (TC = 308 K) in a silicone matrix has been prepared and comprehensively studied. It has been found that at room temperature and above, MAE particles are magnetized superparamagnetically with a low coercivity below 10 Oe, and the influence of magnetic anisotropy on the appearance of a torque is justified. A coupling between magnetization and magnetoelasticity has been also established. The mechanisms of the appearance of magnetoelasticity, including the effect of MAE rearrangement and MAE compression by magnetized particles, have been revealed. It has been found that the magnetoelastic properties of MAE have critical features near TC. The magnetoelastic properties of MAE disappear at T > TC and are restored at T < TC. This makes it possible to use MAE at room temperature as a smart material for devices with self-regulating magnetoelastic properties.
