  Abstract: This study investigates the influence of nickel nanoparticles on the physical properties and structural stability of magnetorheological grease (NMRG) as a smart composite. The incorporation of nickel nanoparticles aims to mitigate issues commonly observed in conventional magnetorheological grease (MRG), including particle aggregation within the fibrous matrix, limited material performance, and deformation instability. NMRG samples containing 1–5 wt% nickel nanoparticles were prepared using a mechanical stirring method. The tests focused on …
