Abstract
By measuring the shear stress of a ferroelectric particle/silicone oil ER fluid varying with the temperature across Tc, the dependence of ER effect on permittivity mismatch is quantitatively obtained. The dielectric property of ferroelectric material behaves a dramatic change at Curie temperature (Tc) either in the dielectric constant and the conductivity. TGS and KNO 3 ferroelectric particles are chosen for studying the dielectric constant and conductivity dependence of the shear stress in ER fluids respectively. The measured results are more reliable, because the conditions, such as size, shape, composition of particles, especially chemical nature of particles and interface property between particles and liquid, all are same. The available theoretical calculations can not well fit our measured results. In order to consider the properties of whole suspensions, the orientation of the particles with spontaneous polarization under an electric field was studied in advance.
