Abstract
Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) is known as an intelligent material constituted of a rubber matrix as well as soft magnetic particles. Silane coupling agents are used to raise the interplay between the inorganic particles and rubber matrix. Silane coupling agent, bis-[-3-(trimethylsilyl propyl)tetra sulfide] (Si69), was picked for comparison of its reinforcing efficiency in the MRE with various vulcanization systems: a conventional (CV), semi-efficient (semi-EV), and efficient (EV) vulcanization system. The outcome illustrated that not only was there improved Si69 surface hydrophobicity of the magnetic particles, but also enhanced Si69 in the interplay between the rubber matrix and magnetic particles. On one hand, the saturated induced magnetic modulus and zero magnetic field modulus of MRE was increased in the vulcanization system, and the loss factor was reduced after the magnetic particles were modified by Si69. On the other hand, the effect of Si69 on the MRE depended on the vulcanization system. The Si69 provided better enhancements in the EV system due to effects of the sulfur contribution of Si69.
