As one of the magnetorheological materials, magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) possesses unique solid properties that give it excellent mechanical properties. In the presence of an external magnetic field, the force, magnetic and electrical properties of the MRE also vary with the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field. This has led to a wide range of applications in the field of shock absorbers. This paper presents the properties of magnetorheological elastomers and the latest research status in the field of shock absorbers, and finally examines the potential and challenges for the development of MRE in the field of shock absorbers.
