The present invention provides a magnetic viscous fluid and a mechanical device with both improved drag force during excitation and improved rubber-resistant properties. The magnetic viscous fluid comprises a magnetic particle and base oil, wherein the base oil comprises ester base oil and non-polar base oil, and a non-polarity index of the base oil is in the range of 10 to 45.

Magnetic viscous fluid and mechanical device

There is provided a magnetic responsiveness composite material capable of increasing viscosity by applying a magnetic field when compounded together with a liquid in a composition. The magnetic responsive composite material comprises first particles as core particles composed of a nonmagnetic inorganic material and second particles composed of a magnetic material adhering to at least a part of surfaces of the first particles. A lipophilic treatment agent is applied to at least a part of surfaces of the second particles. The second particles satisfy a relationship of having a smaller average particle diameter than that of the first particles. A lipophilic treatment agent is preferably at least one kind selected from coupling agents and surfactants.

Magnetic responsiveness composite material and composition including the composite material

A resin composition including: a magnetic fluid that includes magnetic particles, a dispersant, and a dispersion medium; and a resin or precursor thereof that includes, in a molecule thereof, at least one partial structure selected from the group consisting of a diene skeleton, a silicone skeleton, a urethane skeleton, a 4- to 7-membered ring lactone skeleton, an alkyl group having from 6 to 30 carbon atoms and an alkylene group having from 6 to 30 carbon atoms, a production method thereof, a resin composition molded body obtained by using the resin composition, and a production method thereof.

Resin composition, method for producing resin composition, resin composition molded body, and method for producing resin composition molded body

The present invention is a method that enables continuous injection molding of a thermosetting resin composition and reuse of an unnecessary part produced during the molding. The method includes injecting a thermosetting resin composition into a mold while a curing reaction of the resin composition is incomplete. The thermosetting resin composition is then cooled in the mold until becoming semi-cured and removed as a semi-cured product from the mold. The semi-cured product is separated from the unnecessary part and separately heated to progress a thermosetting reaction of the thermosetting resin composition. The unnecessary part may be used as a reworked raw material by regrinding the unnecessary part and mixing it with a fresh thermosetting resin composition. Then, a resultant mixture is used to perform a new injection molding.

Method for injection-molding thermosetting resin composition

A magnetic powder is obtained by removing a dispersion medium from a magnetic fluid that includes magnetic particles, a dispersant and the dispersion medium. A magnetic powder composition includes the magnetic powder and a resin material, and a magnetic powder composition molded body is obtained therefrom. A method of producing a magnetic powder includes removing a dispersion medium from a magnetic fluid containing magnetic particles, a dispersant and the dispersion medium, and powdering a solid component obtained by removing the dispersion medium. A method of producing a magnetic powder composition and a method of producing a magnetic powder composition molded product are also provided.

Molded product of magnetic powder composition comprising magnetic powder of surface-treated magnetite particles, and methods of producing thereof

An embodiment of the present invention provides a sealing member including a magnetic powder and at least one selected from the group consisting of a rubber material and a resin material, the magnetic powder being obtained by removing a dispersion medium from a magnetic fluid including magnetic particles, a dispersant and dispersion medium.
