Abstract

Electrorheological (ER) properties of a fluid composed of mesoporous MCM-41 particles suspended in silicone oil under high electric field were investigated. Typical properties of ER fluids such as viscosity enhancement and viscoelasticity under applied electric fields in MCM-41/silicone oil suspensions were observed. In the dynamic and static yield stress measurements, a strain hardening effect was also observed and subsequently confirmed by elasticity measurement as a function of time under a linear viscoelastic condition.
