Electrorheological properties of a polyaniline–montmorillonite clay nanocomposite suspension

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.
