Abstract: This paper emphasis have researched the effect of Ni/TiO₂ group particles modifier with Urea by properties and microstructure，it has showed that ER activity of the particles were closely associated with urea content. When the mass ratio of urea/Ti is 30%, The microstructure observation of the ER fluids under DC electric field showed that the particles aggregated to form thicker and dense column structure when the mass ratio of Urea/Ti is 30%, while the column structure were broken when excessive urea (>30%) was added. A thin and loose column structure was formed in non-urea added ER fluid.

Abstract: By means of structure analysis, mechanical properties test and microstructure observation，structure of Ni and Ni/TiO₂ group particles have been obtained, the relationship among partic_{Subscript textSubscript text}le diameter，electric field strength and shear ratio of the properties of Ni/TiO₂ group core-shell particles ER fluid have been researched. It has been found that with increasing particle diameter，the shear stress of ER fluid decreased, and with increasing shear ratio，the shear stress of ER fluid increased for same diameter particle and composition ER fluid. At same time, the smaller of particle diameter, the higher of ER properties such as shear stress, but there is a critical value for shear ratio, when shear ratio is larger than critical value, the properties of ER is nearly a value for same composition ER fluid. Particles chain of ER fluid under certain electric field is different with diversity Ni group Particles.
