Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The magnetorheological elastomer (MREs) studied in this paper have been synthesized with incorporation of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) into Natural rubber (NR) as matrix and carbonyl iron (CI) particles as a filler. Several tests were conducted using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and Universal Tensile test. The experimental results show with the addition of different types of MWCNT were able to improve the dispersion of CI particles and MWCNTs but still tends to agglomerate. The magnetic saturation is increased parallel with increasing of tensile strength in the range of 9% to 10%, respectively. Moreover, the broadview and potential applications of MREs are also dealt of.
