Abstract: | To obtain an economical and applicable electrorheological (ER) material, a novel nanocomposite composed of polar inorganic compounds, NH4Al(OH)2CO3, AlO(OH) and (NH4)2SO4, has been synthesized using low-toxic and economical and facile starting materials by a simple chemical reaction process. The experimental result shows that this material has better ER performance. The static yield stress (τy) of the suspension (50 wt%) of the material in silicone oil reached 22.8 kPa at a DC electric field of 4 kV/mm, and the relative yield stress (τr) (the ratio of the yield stresses with to without an electric field) is also higher (12.7-33.3 for different concentration suspensions). The composition, grain size, dielectric and surface properties of the material have been studied by the elemental analyses, X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dielectric spectroscopy and determinations of the surface area and surface energy of the material. The influences of the grain size, dielectric and surface properties on ER performance of the material have been discussed. |
