Abstract:
Ferroelastic composites are smart materials with unique properties including large magnetodeformational effects, strong field enhancement of the elastic modulus and magnetic shape memory. On the basis of mechanical tests, direct microscopy observations and magnetic measurements we conclude that all these effects are caused by reversible motion of the magnetic particles inside the polymeric matrix in response to an applied field. The basic points of a model accounting for particle structuring in a magnetoactive elastomer under an external field are presented.
