نبذة مختصرة : In this study, composite particles of rGO/CoFe2O4 were synthesized using a solvothermal method to fabricate a low-density magnetorheological (MR) material with enhanced sedimentation stability. The morphology and crystallographic features of rGO/CoFe2O4 were characterized via SEM, TEM, and XRD, and its magnetic properties were tested using VSM. The MR fluid was formulated by blending rGO/CoFe2O4 particles into silicone oil. Under different magnet strengths (H), a rotational rheometer was used to test its MR properties. Typical MR properties were observed, including shear stress, viscosity, storage/loss modulus, and dynamic yield stress (τdy) following the Herschel–Bulkley model reaching 200 Pa when H is 342 kA/m. Furthermore, the yield stress of the MR fluid follows a power law relation as H increases and the index changes from 2.0 (in the low H region) to 1.5 (in the high H region). Finally, its MR efficiency was calculated to be about 104% at H of 342 kA/m.
