Estimating the term…
The ER fluid comprising water-soluble starch as conductive particles contains less than 5 wt % water. The ER fluid of the present invention comprises water-soluble starch as a conductive particle which is dispersed in non-conductive media. The ER fluid of the present invention exhibits a considerable ER effect, even though the amount of water contained in the ER fluid is reduced. Thus, it can be widely applicable to water-sensitive damping devices and power devices such as a suspension system, a vibration damper or an engine mount, a break, a clutch, and so forth. And it is feasible for various fields such as an automatic and an aerospace industry.
An electro-rheological (ER) fluid comprising a water soluble starch as a conductive particle disposed in non-conductive media, wherein the water content of the ER fluid is less than 5 wt %, the content of the water soluble starch is 5-70 wt % of the non-conductive media and the ER fluid is boiled.
