Rheological analysis of titanium dioxide nano-whisker based electrorheological fluids

This study reanalyzed dynamic yield stresses of both titanium dioxide nano-whisker- and titanium dioxide nano-particle-based ER suspensions under an input electrical field, based on the universal yield stress function proposed. The experimental data was plotted well to a single line by the scaled universal yield stress function via a deduced critical electrical field value which divides electric field dependent yield stress region with a slope of 1.5 from that with 2.0 of polarization mechanism.Graphical abstractYield stresses of both titanium dioxide nano-whiskers and titanium dioxide nano-particle-based ER fluids under an applied electric field are reanalyzed using universal yield stress equation with a critical electrical field which divides electric field dependent yield stress region with a slope of 1.5 from that with 2.0 of polarization mechanism.
