Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

 Magneto-rheological (MR) fluids are a type of smart fluid that can change their rheological properties, such as viscosity, in the presence of a magnetic field. These fluids consist of small, micron-sized magnetic particles suspended within a carrier fluid, usually oil or water. When a magnetic field is applied, the particles align themselves along the lines of magnetic flux, causing the fluid to change from a liquid to a semi-solid state, resulting in a dramatic change in its rheological behavior.
