Abstract
Polyaniline-montmorillonite nanocomposite (PANI-MMT) particles were synthesized using an emulsion intercalation method and characterized by XRD and TEM spectrometry. The electrorheological properties of suspensions of PANI-MMT particles in silicone oil with a 30% weight fraction were investigated. It was found that the ER fluid displays a notable ER effect under a DC electric field.
