摘要提案号：cts -02233687首席研究员：Conrad， Hans和Balik， C. maurice合作单位：北卡罗莱纳州立大学SGER——一项关于复合颗粒和纳米颗粒添加对电流变流体性能影响的探索性研究。该探索性项目的主要目标是找到一种大幅增加电流变（ER）流体屈服应力的方法，消除将这种材料广泛应用于汽车、飞机、建筑和军事部件等一系列机械耦合设备的最后障碍。该方法是基于对核壳复合粒子和PbTiO3纳米粒子和其他高介电常数材料的添加效果的系统研究。

ABSTRACTProposal Number: CTS-02233687Principal Investigator: Conrad, Hans and Balik, C. MauriceAffiliation: North Carolina State UniversityTitle: SGER - An Exploratory study into the effect of composite particles and addition of nanoparticles on the properties of electrorheological fluidsThe main goal of the proposed exploratory project is to find a method for substantially increasing the yield stress in electrorheological (ER) fluids, removing the last obstacle to widespread application of this material to a host of mechanically coupled devices with applications in automotive, aircraft, architectural and military components. The approach is based on a systematic investigation of the effect of addition of core-shell composite particles and a host of nanoparticles of PbTiO3 and other materials with high dielectric constant.
