Abstract
The electrorheological (ER) behavior of suspensions of water-free complex strontium titanate particles, synthesized by means of a modified sol-gel technique, in silicone oil have been investigated under an ac electric field. The frequency and temperature dependence of the shear stress show that the shear stress decreases monotonically with frequency and reaches a maximum value when the temperature is around 70 °C. The ER behavior has been explained on the basis of dielectric measurements.
