Physical, magnetic, morphological, and optical properties of isotropic magnetorheological elastomers with cobalt as fillers for assistive sensor devices applications

Cobalt particles are often used as fillers in magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) due to their potential advantages. This study aimed to assess the physical, morphological, magnetic, and optical properties of cobalt-based MRE (Co-MRE). To achieve this, several isotropic samples with different concent...
