Abstract: The findings and technological developments related to intelligent materials are increasingly attracting the attention of scientists. One such field is that of magnetorheological (MR) materials. Scientific studies on MR materials have been carried out to determine the performance and characteristics of, for example, MR dampers, MR elastomers, and MR foams. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there has been no statistical discussion in the form of bibliometric analyses of developments in the field of MR materials in the last ten years. This is fascinating, considering that bibliometric studies have considerable impacts and contributions, such as studies on the growth of research patterns, avoiding the repetition of research topics, and analyzing future research. This also supports the future sustainability of the topic of MR materials, helping to bridge the gap that has probably existed since the introduction of MR materials. The relationship between the authors’ scientific research, domestic and global collaborations, and the evolution of themes over the last few years is also shown in this analysis. Thus, this study aimed to fill the gap in such materials by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 1830 articles related to MR materials published over the last 10 years. The results indicated that the field of MR materials has exhibited good growth. The introduction of MR fluid materials to new types of MR materials is still in the early stages of research, such as in applications with MR foam. Further analysis showed that there is a connection and dominance of scientific publications related to MR technology. Furthermore, based on bibliometric analysis, dominant theme changes in the area of MR elastomers, particularly related to carbonyl iron particles and MR polishing, is seldom mentioned, as is also the case for MR gels, MR foam, and MR grease. However, the discussion of new MR materials is a good opportunity to promote developments in the field of MR materials.
