Abstract

In efforts to develop a new fabrication method for improvement of the MREs' performance, the bound- rubber phenomenon was observed in MREs. Further experiments indicate the existance of bound-rubber and it influences the MRE performance as well as the particle size. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results indicated that MRE performance can be improved by enhancing the ratio of particle radius to bound- rubber thickness.
