Elektrorheologische Fluessigkeit mit organischen Dotierstoffen sowie Verwendung hiervon

DE 102009048825 A1 UPAB: 20110509 NOVELTY - Electrorheological fluid comprises at least one type of particles and at least one polar or electrically polarizable organic dopant in or on the particles, where the particles are present in a carrier liquid. USE - The electrorheological fluid is useful: in adaptive shock-, vibration- and/or impact dampers, electrically controlled clutches and/or brakes, sports rehabilitation and/or training equipment, haptic and/or tactile systems, control element, mechanical fastening devices and in hydraulic valves; for the simulation of viscous, elastic and/or visco-elastic properties; to simulate the consistency of distribution of an object; for training- and/or research purposes; and in protective clothing and/or medical applications, such as artificial joints (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The electrorheological fluid with organic dopants show an electrorheological activity in the same order of magnitude or even a significantly greater electrorheological activity than in electrorheological fluid with salt-doped polyurethane particles
