Abstract

Kaolinite/TiO2 nanocomposite particles were prepared by sol-gel technique. The analysis of XRD, FTIR and SEM shows that the surface of kaolinite is coated by nano-TiO2 crystal. Furthermore the electrorheological effect is associated with the TiO2 mass percent in the nanocomposite particle. When the content of TiO2 in the composite is 34%, E=3 kV/mm and volume fraction is 25%, the yield stress of kaolinite/TiO2 nanocomposite ERF is 3.4 kPa, which is 5 times of that of kaolinite.
