Conducting Nanostructured Polymer Materials and their Electrorheological Application

Preparation, characteristics and electrorheological (ER) applications of conducting polymer/clay nanocomposites are being reviewed in this article, in which the conducting polymers include polyaniline, polypyrrole and copolyaniline. Each nanocomposite system has been prepared from different methods of emulsion polymerization, inverse emulsion polymerization and solvent casting. The morphological features and structure are explained based on SEM/TEM images and XRD pattern. The ER characterizations including analyzing the relationship between yield stress and electric field strength as well the shear stress behaviors especially under low shear rate range were systematically investigated.
