This treatise is a compendium of refereed papers based on invited
talks presented at the American Chemical Society Symposium on
Electrorheological (ER) Materials and Fluids. ER fluids were first
investigated 50+ years ago. These fluids, which change rheology
when placed in an electric field, were recognized, from the
beginning, for allowing an extremely efficient interface between
electrical control and mechanical devices. Critical problems,
however, existed with the initial fluids, which prevented them from
serious consideration for large-scale applications. While over time
some of the critical problems have been solved and activity in ER
technology has increased, commercial success has remained elusive.
A recent Department of Energy report concluded that a primary
reason for the failure to commercialize this promising technology
is due to a lack in understanding the physics and chemistry of how
the materials work. The goal of the symposium was to address the
issue of understanding how ER materials work and how they can be
used. One of the outcomes of the symposium, which we hope is
conveyed in this book, is a feeling that if the mechanism of ER is
to be fully understood and improved, expertise from diverse fields
must be applied to the problem.
