The orientation of the layered aluminosilicates particles with a high aspect ratio in paraffin under electric field

Abstract

The electrorheological behavior is significantly affected by the strength of the structure formed in the electric field, due to the filler particles orientation. The structural organization of the filler in electric field was studied by X-ray scattering on paraffin films. Particles of layered aluminosilicates with a high aspect ratio and various morphology such as montmorillonite and halloysite were used as fillers. The differences in the structure formation by fillers of plate and tubular shape were shown.
