Thinking putty (silly putty) is a silicone polymer.It has unique properties:It is viscoelastic i.e it can be stretched & shaped & mashed back together again; & as its apparent viscosity increase directly with respect to the amount of force applied.Silly putty in non-newtonian visco-elastic polymer;better characterized as a dilant fluid.
BY adding a ferrous component to an silly putty we can keep all characteristics of the original putty,but now have the additional dimension of MAGNETISM ! & we called it MAGNETIC PUTTY !!
