极性分子型电流变液

电流变液在电场作用下软硬连续可调的奇特性质具有广泛和重要的应用价值。传统电流变液是基于颗粒极化产生的相互作用,根据介电理论预测,其剪切屈服强度的上限约为10kPa。电流变液被发明50年来,阻碍其应用的主要原因是剪切强度低。近年来发明的"极性分子型电流变液"是一类新型电流变液,其屈服强度比传统电流变液大一个数量级以上,且与电场强度呈线性关系,这一点和传统电流变液中的平方关系也明显不同。文章作者提出了极性分子在颗粒间强局域电场中的取向并与极化电荷作用的模型,成功地解释了观察到的实验现象。根据这一原理,有可能制备出屈服强度高达MPa的电流变液。     

巨电流变效应及其机理

文章介绍了一种全新的电流变材料，即一种具有巨电流变(giant electro-rheological，简称GER)效应的纳米颗粒电流变液．之所以称之为“巨”，是因为此类材料的电流变效应远远突破了通常理论所预测到的“上限”，其剪切强度超过100kPa．同时文章作者还发现，此类电流变效应与外加电场呈线性变化关系，而非通常的二次方关系．用所提出的“表面极化饱和”模型圆满地解释了GER效应的实验结果．     

极性分子型电流变液导电机理研究

极性分子型电流变液是一种新型的电流变材料.其介电颗粒上吸附极性分子,极性分子在颗粒间强局域电场作用下发生取向是产生巨电流变效应的关键.通过对Ca—Ti—O(CTO)体系极性分子型电流变液电流密度的测量发现,其导电行为遵从Poole-Frenkel效应的规律,这是极性分子型电流变液的重要特征之一.而500 ℃处理过的CTO粉体不含极性分子,所配制的电流变液无巨电流变效应,其电流密度随外电场强度近似地呈线性关系,显示出传统电流变液特性.

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.     

Shear Stress and Dielectric Characteristics of Polyaniline/TiO2 Composite‐Based Electrorheological Fluid

Adopting both conducting polyaniline (PANI) and organic titanium dioxide (TiO₂), which possesses a high dielectric constant, we synthesized PANI/TiO₂ hybrids via in situ oxidative polymerization to prepare an electrorheological (ER) materials. These were then characterized via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ER responses and dielectric properties of the synthesized hybrids dispersed in silicone oil were measured as a function of different particle fractions of TiO₂ under an applied electric field. Series of analyses revealed that composite composition (the ratio of TiO₂ to PANI) plays a crucial role in affecting the ER performance, which exhibited interesting behaviors when the ratio of TiO₂ to PANI approaches a critical value. Interestingly, we found that our proposed constitutive equation fit the shear stress in the low shear rate region better than the Bingham fluid model. The dielectric spectra of the ER fluid, along with polarizability, were found to explain the flow behaviors of the PANI/TiO₂ under applied electric fields.

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.

Material characterization of ER fluids at high frequency

In this paper, the material characterization of ER fluids at high frequencies is studied. To characterize the properties at high frequencies, an experimental apparatus is provided, based upon the wave transmission through ER fluids in the presence of electric field. Details of the experiment and how to extract the complex shear modulus of ER fluids are addressed. A moderate increase in the storage modulus and loss modulus was observed when the weight ratio of ER particles and the electric field were increased. The proposed method is a comprehensive material characterization of ER fluids in high frequencies for ER smart structures.     

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.
