| Summary: | The invention relates to mixtures of dry powders that form functional magnetorheological fluids when a carrier fluid is added to the mixtures. These magnetorheological fluids exhibit substantial increases in flow resistance when exposed to magnetic fields.
Magnetorheological fluid concentrates are provided which contain a substantially dry mixture of magnetic-responsive powder and a thixotropic agent. The concentrates may be mixed with an aqueous or an organic carrier fluid to form magnetorheological fluids. |
