Efficient and stable electrorheological fluids based on chestnut-like cobalt hydroxide coupled with surface-functionalized carbon dots.

Intrinsically polarized electrorheological fluids (ERFs) have better thermal stability than ERFs with polar molecules, so they have a broader application prospect. However, the electrorheological efficiency of the common intrinsically polarized ERF is still lower than 1500, which is related to the poor wettability between polarized materials and the continuous phase. Carbon dots (CDs) exhibit good stability, semiconductor properties and low toxicity.

Highly stable and efficient electrorheological suspensions with hydrophobic interaction.

Hypothesis: Electrorheological fluid (ERF) is a kind of suspension or colloid composed of fine particles and insulating oil as continuous phase. The second miscible liquid phase with less affinity to the particles than the continuous phase is expected to influence particles aggregation, assembly and spanning mesostructures. Hence, it should be possible to tune the rheological and electrorheological properties and stability by the addition of second miscible liquid with different chain length and substituents.
