电流变液微波反射可调控性

研究了纳米二氧化钛包覆高岭土和钇掺杂钛酸钡两种电流变液的微波反射行为.实验发现，在垂直于微波传播方向电场作用下，两种电流变液微波反射系数均随电场强度的增大而增大；钇掺杂钛酸钡电流变液微波反射系数变化幅度比二氧化钛包覆高岭土电流变液宽，并且电场调节的能力随浓度的增加有减弱的趋势.对钇掺杂钛酸钡电流变液存在一个临界浓度，低于这个浓度，电场的调控能力随电场强度的增加而增大，高于这个浓度，电场的调控能力随电场的增加先增大后减小.另外，二氧化钛包覆高岭土电流变液反射回波相位随电场强度的增大出现最大值后逐渐减小趋于平 关键词： 电流变液 微波反射 相位

Basic considerations in flowing electrorheological fluids

The physical and chemical properties of electrorheological (ER) fluids are reviewed, and an outline theory of their mode of action is proposed. Rheologically, the Bingham plastic model gives an acceptable representation of ER fluids flowing in a field and it has recently been shown that the plastic viscosity may be field-dependent in some circumstances, as well as the yield stress. The variation of the former with field is strongly influenced by the specific chemical nature of the ER fluid, while the field dependence of the latter has a similar form in all the ER fluids investigated. However, interpretation of observations is complicated by concentration of solid in the working gap and interplay between local electrical conductivity and shear rate.

Polar molecule dominated electrorheological effect

The yield stress of our newly developed electrorheological (ER) fluids consisting of dielectric nano-particles suspended in silicone oil reaches hundreds of kPa, which is orders of magnitude higher than that of conventional ones. We found that the polar molecules adsorbed on the particles play a decisive role in such new ER fluids. To explain this polar molecule dominated ER (PM-ER) effect a model is proposed based on the interaction of polar molecule-charge between the particles, where the local electric field is significantly enhanced and results in the polar molecules aligning in the direction of the electric field. The model can well explain the giant ER effect and a near-linear dependence of the yield stress on the electric field. The main effective factors for achieving high-performance PM-ER fluids are discussed. The PM-ER fluids with the yield stress higher than one MPa can be expected.

Compression Enhanced Shear Yield Stress of Electrorheological Fluid

Shear tests of an electrorheological fluid with pre-applied electric field and compression along the fleld direction are carried out. The results show that pre-compressions can increase the shear yield stress up to ten times. Under the same external electric field strength, a higher compressive strain corresponds to a larger shear yield stress enhancement but with slight current density decrease, which shows that the particle interaction potentials are not increased by compressions but the compression-induced chain aggregation dominates the shear yield stress improvement. This pre-compression technique might be useful for developing high performance flexible ER or magnetorheological couplings.     

Dielectric electrorheological fluids: Theory and experiment

Electrorheological (ER) fluids are a class of materials whose rheological properties are controllable by the application of an electric field. A dielectric electrorheological (DER) fluid is the simplest type of ER fluid, in which the material components follow a linear electrostatic response. We review and discuss the progress of the studies on physics of this type of material. A first-principles theory of DER fluids, along with relevant experimental verifications, are presented in some detail. In particular, the properties presented include static equilibrium structure, shear modulus, static yield stress and its variation with applied electric field frequency, and structure-induced dielectric nonlinearity.     

Conductivity effect in electrorheological fluids

Based on conduction model and cubic particle model, the relationship between current density and shear yield stress of electrorheological (ER) fluids was calculated and compared with some reported experimental results. The conductivity of the insulating oils is found to have been changed by the mixed particles. Several ways to decrease insulating liquid conductivity and increase the conductivity ratio of ER fluids have been proposed to prepare ER fluids with high shear yield stresses but low current densities.
