Abstract:
The electrorheological (ER) properties of poly(2-dodecyloxyaniline) (PDOA) suspensions in silicone oil were investigated. The ER behavior of such suspensions of polyaniline particles depends on the type of stabilizer and doping or dedoping level. Here we report on the ER behavior of particles of a substituted polyaniline with long alkyl pendants. Rheological measurements were carried out using a rotational rheometer with high-voltage generator in both constant shear stress and rate modes. Suspensions of the as-synthesized polyaniline particles in silicone oil showed a substantial ER response.
