This study aims to develop low-cost, eco-friendly, and circular economy-compliant composite materials by creating three types of magnetorheological suspensions (MRSs) utilizing lard, carbonyl iron (CI) microparticles, and varying quantities of gelatin particles (GP). These MRSs serve as dielectric materials in cylindrical cells used to fabricate electric capacitors. The equivalent electrical capacitance () of these capacitors is measured under different magnetic flux densities (B≤160 mT) superimposed on a medium-frequency electric field ( = 1 kHz) over a period of 120 s.

This work consists in the process of preparing magnetic active composite materials based on cotton fibers, iron carbonyl microparticles and barium titanate nanoparticles, and the electrical devices manufactured with them. For different compositions of the aforementioned ingredients, three such composites are manufactured and compacted at constant pressure between two electrodes. In the absence and in the presence of a magnetic field, using an RLC bridge, magnetocapacitive, magnetoresistive and magnetopiezoelectric effects are highlighted in the custom fabricated devices.

Hybrid magnetorheological elastomers (hMREs) were manufactured based on silicone rubber, silicone oil, carbonyl iron microparticles, graphene nanoparticles and cotton fabric. Using the hMREs, flat capacitors (FCs) were made. Using the installation described in this paper, the electrical capacitance and the coefficient of dielectric losses of the hMREs were measured as a function of the intensity of the magnetic field superimposed over an alternating electric field.
