The electrorheological (ER) performance of chitosan phosphate suspension in silicone oil was investigated. Chitosan phosphate suspension showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) and exhibited an excellent shear yield stress due to the formation of multiple chains upon the application of the electric field. The shear stress for chitosan phosphate suspension showed a linear dependence on the volume fraction of particles and 1.67 power of the electric field. The experimental results for the chitosan phosphate suspension correlated with the conduction model for ER response.KEY WORDS Electrorheological Fluids/ Chitosan Phosphate Suspension/ Conduction Model/ Bingham Flow/
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
