Magneto-Active Polymer Actuator
- Magneto-active Polymers (MAP) are closely related to magneto-rheological fluids in that they contain magnetic micro-particles. However, instead of being freely suspended in a carrier fluid they are physically bound within a highly elastic polymer-matrix. The application of an external magnetic field allows changes in the mechanical properties, such as elastic and shear moduli, of the composite material to be achieved. The colossal magneto-rheological effect has been shown to demonstrate changes in Young's modulus by over 1E6 %. Current research concentrates on controllable compliance and the resulting shape memory properties of MAP. This paper deals with recent advancements in this respect, including tubular magneto-active devices with potential applications in medical and other technology.
