3a01 シロキサン系液晶材料の電気粘性効果に関する研究(奨励賞受賞者講演,口頭発表,2012年日本液晶学会討論会)

抄録

Electro-rheological (ER) fluids whose viscosity is controlled by applied electric field strength have been widely studied as smart materials for industrial utilities. We have studied ER effect of the liquid crystalline (LC) materials which have various siloxane cores. It has been found that the response time of the viscosity to the applied electric fields and the increase of the viscosity depended greatly on their molecular structure. We demonstrate the characteristic phenomena on ER effect of the siloxane LC materials.
