It starts by defining these materials and distinguishing them from relevant magnetorheological fluids and ferrofluids. It then gives the overview of constitutive materials for the polymer matrix and filler particles. Next, the influence of external magnetic field on physical properties of MAEs is discussed. The emphasis is made on mechanical properties, which are the most important for real-world applications. In particular, magnetomechanical effects such as magnetostriction, magnetodeformation, and magnetorheological effect are discussed. The magnetic Payne effect is presented as an example of a nonlinear behavior. Electromagnetic and acoustic properties are also considered. The chapter finishes with the brief discussion of the future prospects in research and development of MAEs.
