Abstract

The invention provides a magnetorheological composition having reduced off-state forces and good performance. Specifically, this invention is directed to a magnetorheological composition that may comprise non-sperical magnetic-responsive particles and at least one friction-reducing additive that reduces the interparticle friction between the magnetic-responsive particles.
