LMS-based MREs

These are LMS-based MRE formulations selected among the trials undertaken in T1.3 that display the following characteristics: ≥95% plating efficiency; ≥5% weight load, ≥70% split @B=2.0T/m.The LMS-based MRE formulations (SOLVIONIC, UNIGE, CNRS) are (Cu,In,Se)-based LMS candidates sharing anion (e.g. [Tf2N]-). For these formulations electrochemical window and plating efficiency are determined. These formulations contain micro-nano-based magnetic particles dispersed in a wide range of MNPs:MMPs mole fractions(0.01÷1). The interphase M/E is optimised for dispersion and purpose via appropriate surface charge and functionalisation. The formulations are tested magnetorheologically vs. MNPs/MMPs ratio/load to attain target phase M Yield stress on the order of 10 kPa at B=0.01 T, excluding convective flows in phase E. The characteristics of the formulations are assessed for societal impact beyond REMAP e.g. smart fluid for robotic space applications (TRL1-2).
