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     

电流变液中的双折射现象观察

本文研究了电流变液(ER流体)可调节的双折射现象,激光束垂直于电场方向,利用He-Ne激光器对SiO₂、季戊四醇和硅油组成的ER流体进行测量.发现当一对偏振片互相正交,不加电场时,没有光线射出;当施加电场时,就有光线射出,透射光强度随电场增大.对于相同材料的ER流体,低浓度的ER流体双折射现象更加明显,电流变液双折射现象起因于颗粒在电场作用下排列成链状或柱状结构.

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.

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。     

Effect of Nanoparticles on Thermal Properties Enhancement in Different Oils – A Review

The development of stable dispersion of nanoparticles in different oils is gaining momentum for close circuit applications as most of the mineral oils used are not very good thermal conductors. The enhancement of thermal conductivity with optimum enhancement of viscosity of oil with nanoparticles poses a serious challenge for use of such fluids in cooling. Transformer oil, mineral oil, silicon oil, hydrocarbon fuels, biodiesel, and some organic solutions have been used as the base fluids for studying the effect of nanoparticles for improving thermal efficiency. Innovative heat transfer fluids are produced by suspending metallic or nonmetallic nanometer-sized solid particles. Although a large number of sources are available on water-based nanofluids, the number of such reports on oil-based nanofluids is rather limited. The aim of this article is to summarize recent developments on the preparation methods of nanofluids based on oil, its stability, thermal conductivity enhancement, nanoparticle effect on viscosity, heat transfer characteristics, breakdown voltage, dielectric properties, and applications of such nanofluids.     

Study of the magnetorheology of aqueous suspensions of extremely bimodal magnetite particles

In this paper we describe the magnetorheological behavior of aqueous suspensions consisting of magnetite particles of two size populations, in the micrometer and nanometer scale, respectively. Previous works on the magnetorheology of oil-based fluids demonstrated that the addition of nanoparticles has a very significant effect on the intensity of the magnetorheological effect. The present contribution confirms such results in the case of aqueous fluids, based on the dependence of the yield stress and the viscosity of the bimodal suspensions on both the composition of the mixtures and the magnetic field strength. It is demonstrated that for a given concentration of micrometer particles, increasing the amount of nanometer magnetite provokes a clear enhancement in the yield stress for all the magnetic fields applied. This is proposed to be due to the formation of heterogeneous aggregates that improve the stability of the suspensions and ease the building of well-arranged field-induced structures. The behavior of both the yield stress and the post-yield viscosity agrees better with the predictions of standard chain models when the relative proportion of both types of particles confers optimum stability to the bimodal dispersions.     

Light-assisted synthesis and functionalization of silver nanoparticles with thiol derivative thioxanthones: new insights into the engineering of metal/chromophore nanoassemblies

Nanofluids are suspensions of nanometer-sized particles which significantly modify the properties of the base fluids. Nanofluids exhibit attractive properties, such as high thermal conductivity, tunable surface tension, viscosity, and rheology. Various attempts have been made to understand the mechanisms for these property modifications caused by adding nanoparticles; however, due to the lack of direct nanoscale evidence, these explanations are still controversial. This work calculated the surface tension, viscosity, and rheology of gold–water nanofluids using molecular dynamics simulations which provide a microscopic interpretation for the modified properties on the molecular level. The gold–water interaction potential parameters were changed to mimic various nanoparticle types. The results show that the nanoparticle wettability is responsible for the modified surface tension. Hydrophobic nanoparticles always tend to stay on the free surface so they behave like a surfactant to reduce the surface tension. Hydrophilic nanoparticles immersed into the bulk fluid impose strong attractive forces on the water molecules at the free surface which reduces the free surface thickness and increases the surface tension of the nanofluid. Solid-like absorbed water layers were observed around the nanoparticles which increase the equivalent nanoparticle radius and reduce the mobility of the nanoparticles within the base fluid which increases the nanofluid viscosity. The results show the water molecule solidification between two or many nanoparticles at high nanoparticle loadings, but the solidification effect is suppressed for shear rates greater than a critical shear rate; thus Newtonian nanofluids can present shear-thinning non-Newtonian behavior.

Carbon nanotube/polyaniline nanocomposites and their electrorheological characteristics under an applied electric field

A conducting polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized via an oxidative dispersion polymerization technique, using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a polymeric stabilizer, in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) purified in acidic solution, and dispersion stability of the MWNT in an aqueous solution of PVA was studied for different PVA concentrations. Their morphology was confirmed by a scanning electron microscope. Its electrorheological (ER) characteristics were also investigated by dispersing the PANI/MWNT composite particles in an insulating silicone oil. Its ER properties were examined using a rotational rheometer under varying applied DC electric field strengths, in which the ER fluid is generally composed of a suspension of conducting particles dispersed in an insulating fluid, which shows a rapid and reversible change in shear viscosity with an applied electric field. Synthesized PANI/MWNT composite particles are observed to enhance interparticular interactions, since the degree of polarization of PANI/MWNT composite particle increases with applied electric field strengths. The shear stresses of the PANI/MWNT nanocomposite based ER fluid increase with the electric field strength for a broad range of shear rates.
