摘要:
A magnetorheological material containing a carrier fluid, a particle component and a thixotropic additive to provide stability against particle settling. The thixotropic additive can be a hydrogen-bonding thixotropic agent, a polymer-modified metal oxide, or a mixture thereof. The utilization of a thixotropic additive creates a thixotropic network which is unusually effective at minimizing particle settling in a magnetorheological material.

A lubricating fluid composition for dynamic pressure bearings which supports the shaft of the bearing by dynamic pressure, wherein the lubricating fluid composition comprises fine magnetic particles dispersed in a base oil solvent which comprises a hydrogenated poly-.alpha.-olefin (PAO) and a polyol ester.
摘要:
A device using an electrorheological fluid filled in a fluid enclosing space comprises passages or fins for cooling the electrorheological fluid disposed around the fluid enclosing space and is useful for a vibration damper, a clutch, an engine mount, a shock absorber and the like. The power consumption can be maintained at a sufficiently low level and thermal runaway of electric current can effectively be prevented.
摘要:
A non-flammable electric discharge machining fluid for electric discharge machining which comprises a non-flammable water base solution, a block copolymer represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein n ranges from 1 to 5 and n/(m+p) ranges from 0.5 to 2.5. The fluid contributes to a lowered electrode wear rate and an improved machining removal rate.
摘要:
An electrorheological fluid is prepared from a hydrophobic liquid medium and a dispersed particulate phase of (i) a polar solid material which is capable of exhibiting electrorheological activity in the presence of a low molecular weight polar material and (ii) a non-cellulosic polymeric material having a solubility parameter of about 15 to about 50 (MPa).sup.1/2 and exhibiting substantially no electrorheological activity in the absence of a low molecular weight polar material. The fluid optionally contains a low molecular weight polar activator. The fluid has good electrorheological performance over a broad temperature range.
摘要:
Disclosed is an electrorheological fluid which is a uniform mixture or solution consisting of a thermotropic polymeric liquid crystal compound such as poly(4'-cyano-4-biphenyloxyhexyl acrylate) and a thermotropic low-molecular liquid crystal compound such as 4-cyano-4'-pentyl biphenyl to serve as the solvent of the polymer in a specified molar ratio. The viscosity of the liquid composition is increased as the direct-current electric field applied thereto is increased while this electrorheological effect disappears when the temperature of the composition is increased to exceed a phase transition temperature which is specific to the respective combinations of the polymeric and low-molecular liquid crystal compounds.
摘要:
A nitrogen-containing perfluoroalkyl bromide, a novel compound to the art, is represented by the formula, ##STR1## wherein Rf.sub.1 and Rf.sub.2 independently stand for a perfluoroalkyl group of one to five carbon atoms, provided that Rf.sub.1 and Rf.sub.2 are 1) separated from each other, 2) directly bonded to each other, 3) bonded to each other through the medium of an oxygen atom, or 4) bonded to each other through the medium of a nitrogen atom. This novel compound is produced by decarbonylating a nitrogen-containing perfluorocarboxylic acid bromide represented by the formula, ##STR2## by exposure to an ultraviolet light.
摘要:
Electrorheological fluids which exhibit good high temperature performance are made using as the disperse phase a salt of a polymer of an alkenyl substituted aromatic comonomer such as styrene and a maleic acid comonomer or derivative thereof.
