Abstract :
The ER (electrorheological) effect of silicone oil in which small particles are suspended was investigated. In order to clarify the difference between suspending materials, silica gel, silica gel coated by conductive polymer film, and polymer particles (microcrystalline cellulose) whose diameter ranged between 5 and 100 μm were investigated. To measure the ER effect a rotational viscometer was constructed. It is found that shear stress for cellulose particles is much stronger than that for the other particles
