Abstract: This paper deals with the experimental investigation on the detailed performance of magnetic compound fluid (MCF)-based polishing liquid (MPL) in nanoprecision surface treatment of acrylic resin that is essentially required for producing the model in the process of developing an inaugural mechanical system. The MPL is produced in practice by mixing iron powder, abrasive particle and α-cellulose fibre into a magnetic fluid (MF), and hence, a kind of functional fluid reacting to magnetic fields. Following the previous works confirming the performance of MPL in the surface finishing of acrylic resin, in this work, a series of experiments were conducted to reveal how the process parameters affect the machining characteristics in details in order to establish the new technique. The results showed that a mirror surface can be easily obtained once the process parameters have been set up optimally.
