Strong Electrorheological Performance of Smart Fluids Based on TiO2 Particles at Relatively Low Electric Field

Electrorheological (ER) fluids are a type of smart material with adjustable rheological properties. Generally, the high yield stress (>100 kPa) requires high electric field strength (>4 kV/mm). Herein, the TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized via the sol–gel method. Interestingly, the E...
