Two-Dimensional rGO-MoS2 Hybrid Additives for High-Performance Magnetorheological Fluid

Abstract

Magnetorheological fluids (MRF) that undergo a change in their viscoelastic properties under the magnetic fields have been considered as one of most important smart functional materials for vibration dampers and shock absorbers in several engineering applications. However, the use of magnetorheological fluids in practical applications has been limited by poor sedimentation ratio and on-state yield stress. Herein, we report hybrid rGO-MoS2 additives for a high-performance magnetorheological fluid. Two different kinds of hybrid additives, which are called non-magnetic rGO-MoS2 and magnetic Fe-rGO-MoS2, were synthesized by using a hydrothermal method. The rGO-MoS2 added suspensions remained stable for the first 90 min whereas the CIP MRFs settled down quickly (65%) in the first 10 minutes. The Fe-rGO-MoS2 additives showed a 24% higher on-state shear stress as compared to CIP MRFs. On the other hand, an increase of 60% in the on-state yield stress for Fe-rGO-MoS2 MRF can be attributed to the gap-filling by the hybrid additives during columnar-structure formation. Among two-dimensional (2D) materials, Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS2) is a member of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), traditionally used as solid lubricant, while reduced graphene-oxide (rGO) is a well-known 2D material with supreme mechanical properties. We believe that this study will blaze the new way for developing a high-performance magnetorheological fluids based on various 2D material hybrids.

“…The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful analytical tool that has been used as a gold standard for molecular identification 18 – 20 , structural elucidation, and drug discovery 20 – 22 . In this study, several 1D and 2D NMR techniques were used for the structure elucidation of the isolated compounds.…”

“…This peak indicated that the graphite flakes had been oxidized and exfoliated. 33 The pattern of rGO showed the absence of a peak at 2 θ = 10.1° and the presence of a broad diffraction at around 2 θ = 10–20°. This can be attributed to the disordered stacking of rGO nanosheets, indicating that GO was reduced successfully.…”

“…On the other hand, some other studies have shown the use of the plate-like shape of CIPs in other MR materials that improved the resultant properties of the materials. For instance, it was reported that the issue of sedimentation in magnetorheological fluid (MRF) 24 was remarkably reduced when the spherical shape of CIPs was replaced by the plate-like (or flakes) shape, and in return, the field-dependent rheological properties of MRF were enhanced. Upadhyay et al 25 found that a flake-based MRF improved the storage modulus and MR effect of MRF compared to the spherical-based MRF.…”
