Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0483774A1] The present invention relates to an electroviscous fluid which comprises a dispersion of 0.1 to 50 weight% of wet- method silica particles whose surface adsorbed water has been replaced by an organic compound having in its molecule at least one group selected from the group consisting of a nitrile group, hydroxyl group, and acid group, in an electrically insulating fluid. The wet-method silica particles have an average particle diameter of 10 to 500 micrometers and a pH that does not exceed 6.5. This electroviscous fluid provides a substantial increase in yield value at low voltages and an excellent shear stability.
