S051051 Study on Mechanism of Electricity of MCF Rubber

Abstract

At the fields of robotics, sensing for artificial arm and leg, and investigating surface property, the sensor that is applicable to response for shear force as well as normal force has been developed. For the development of the haptic sensor by combining metal particles, we used silicon oil and balloon crude rubbers as naming MCF rubber. The MCF rubbers also involve MCF as one of intelligent fluid constituted by magnetic fluid. The sensor used by the latter rubber has higher quality of sensing for 0.01 N ordered force and of responding at the case of scrubbing any bodies than the one by the former rubber. The difference of the electric characteristics between them is caused by the difference of the electric mechanism depending on oleophilicity and hydrophilicity.
