Abstract

A magnetorheological material containing a carrier fluid, a particle component and a thixotropic additive to provide stability against particle settling. The thixotropic additive can be a hydrogen-bonding thixotropic agent, a polymer-modified metal oxide, or a mixture thereof. The utilization of a thixotropic additive creates a thixotropic network which is unusually effective at minimizing particle settling in a magnetorheological material.
