Abstract

Advances in one of the most promising fields of the chemistry of smart materials, specifically, electrorheological fluids are considered. The electrorheological effect and the structure and properties of electrorheological fluids are described. Modern views on the nature of the electrorheological effect are considered. The review focuses on the application of nanomaterials as the disperse phases in electrorheological fluids. Recent avances in the sol-gel synthesis of nanostructured colloid systems and the electrorheological characteristics of their based liquid systems are considered. Certain aspects of practical application of electrorheological fluids are presented.
