This book is about field responsive fluids as smart materials which includes
magneto-rheological (MR) fluids electro-rheological (ER) fluids and ferrofluids. It reviews
the previous works and considers all the aspects that can help researchers and industries to
choose proper materials as MR fluid constituents. Topics in magnetism and types of magnetic
materials are presented. This includes the effect of magnetizable particles behaviors such as
size shape and density. The type of materials on the rheological properties is also compared
for MR ER and ferro-fluids. The second part of the book discusses advanced topics for MR ER
and ferro-fluids comparing some of the properties between the field responsive fluids. This
book appeals to engineers researchers and practitioners in the area of materials and
mechanical engineering with interest in the field responsive fluids.
