Article Synopsis
  • The research investigates how shear stress affects the release and absorption of endothelial extracellular vesicles (EVs), with findings indicating that more EVs are produced under HSS conditions than LSS.
  • Proteomic analysis revealed that LSS-derived EVs are enriched with proteins that enhance their uptake by endothelial cells, which may contribute to oxidative stress in those cells, highlighting the complex role of shear stress and EVs in vascular health.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the performance and failure resistance of magnetorheological elastomers (MRE), focusing on how stress relaxation affects their molecular and mechanical properties.
  • The research utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to better understand the stress relaxation process in MREs made with varying amounts of magnetic iron, finding a significant decrease in stored energy across all models.
  • Results indicate that the MRE with 80 wt% magnetic iron exhibits the highest final stored energy due to stronger molecular interactions, highlighting the potential for MD simulations as a valuable tool in MRE material design and failure prevention.

It is well known in the field of materials science that a substance's longevity is significantly influenced by its environment. Everything begins with the initial contact on a material's surface. This influence will then deteriorate and have an extended negative impact on the strength of the material.

Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), which is capable of exhibiting magnetostriction in the presence of a magnetic field, has a great potential to be used for the development of sensor devices. Unfortunately, to date, many works focused on studying low modulus of MRE (less than 100 kPa) which can hamper their potential application in sensors due to short lifespan and low durability. Thus, in this work, MRE with storage modulus above 300 kPa is to be developed to enhance magnetostriction magnitude and reaction force (normal force).

This paper aims to investigate the mechanical and rheological properties of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) in marine ecosystems. The prepared samples comprised silicone rubber (SR) and 70 wt% micron-sized carbonyl iron particles (CIPs), immersed in an artificial marine ecosystem using salt water (Natrium Chloride) for 30 days. The mechanical properties of MRE samples were evaluated using hardness and quasi-static tensile tests.
