Early-Stage degradation of electrolytic iron particle-based magnetorheological elastomer under natural weathering conditions

Key Points

• Degradation occurs over time, affecting the physical properties of the elastomer.
• Physical property changes can be quantitatively tracked, showing significant alterations in strength and elasticity.
• Assessment using weathering tests on elastomers exposed to environmental conditions was conducted to simulate real-world scenarios.
• Findings highlight the need for improved protective measures in elastomer applications to enhance long-term durability.
