Abstract
The graphene oxide-coated iron oxide/silica core/shell nanoparticles (Fe3O4/SiO2/GO NPs) are successfully fabricated and adopted as the dual stimuli-responsive smart fluid. The Fe3O4/SiO2/GO NPs exhibit both electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) characteristics, attributed to the SiO2/GO layer in the shell part and Fe3O4 in the core part, respectively. Particularly, the ER efficiency of the Fe3O4/SiO2/GO NPs-based ER fluid is ca. 191 at the applied electric field of 3 kV mm–1. Moreover, the MR performance of the Fe3O4/SiO2/GO NPs-based MR fluid is significantly enhanced up to 135-fold at the applied magnetic field of 1 T compared to the zero-field stress. Furthermore, it is remarkable that the Fe3O4/SiO2/GO NPs represent high colloidal stability and outstanding antisettling property because of the electrostatic repulsion between oxygen functional groups on GO nanosheets and the relatively low density compared with other magnetic particles. Dual stimuli-responsive characteristics in addition ...
