Resumo(s)
The potential of electrorheological (ER) suspensions based on polarizable particles in simple liquids relies on the particles arrangements which turn their quasi Newtonian behavior into gel-like. However, minor attention has been paid to the effect provoked by the liquid viscosity on the ease of orientation and assembly of the particles. With this aim, a study on the ER behavior, at 25 °C, of 1 wt% suspensions of polyaniline (PANI)-based hybrid particles ( - graphene or - tungstene oxide) in silicone oil with varying viscosities (20, 50 and 100 cSt) was carried out. The electric field effect was higher for the PANI-graphene particles suspension in the less viscous silicone oil. However, two drawbacks were observed: (a) higher leakage current flows; and (b) reduced reversibility upon the electric field was turned off. The use of silicone oil with higher viscosity solved these issues.
