The electrorheological (ER) behavior of suspensions in silicone oil of phosphoric ester cellulose particles (average particle size : 18$\pm$1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) coated with octadecylamine ( $C_{18}$ $H_{37}$ N $H_2$) as surfactant was investigated at room temperature. For development of anhydrous ER suspension using at real application, it should be researched how can reduce deposition of ER particles in ER suspension. Anhydrous ER suspensions mixing with phosphoric ester cellulose particles coated with octadecylamine were measured. As increasing the coating concentration of octadecylamine, not only analysis of electrical properties such as dielectric constant, current density and electrical conductivity but also rheological properties of ER suspensions were studied. From the experimental results, coating concentration of surfactant had large influence to ER properties of anhydrous ER suspension. Current density, conductivity and electrorheological effect ($\tau$/$\tau$$_{0}$) of ER suspension were linearly reduced with increasing the coating concentration of octadecylamine. But ER suspensions dispersed the phosphoric ester cellulose particles coated with octadecylamine showed reducing deposition of ER particles and could be redispersed easily.

Aminated polyacrylonitrile as the new organic disperse phases of the anhydrous ER fluid has been synthesized and ER effect of the suspension composed of aminated polyacrylonitrile in silicone oil investigated. The suspension showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the suspension exhibited the dependence with a factor equals to 1.6 power on theelectric field. The current density and the conductivity of the of aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension increase with the electric field intensity and moreover the conductivity of the suspension is about 8 order of magnitude higher than that of the silicone oil. On the basis of the the results, aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension showed the ER flow behavior upon application of the electric field due to the polarizability of the branched amine polar group of the aminated polyacrylonitrile particles.

The electrorheological (ER) behavior of chitosan suspension in the silicone oil was investigated. Chitosan suspension showed a typical ER response, Bingham flow behavior upon application of an electric field due to the polarizability of the branched amino group of the chitosan particles. The shear yield stress exhibited a linear dependence on the volume fraction of particles and the squared electric field. On the basis of the experimental results, chitosan suspension has been correlated with the conduction models for ER response and found to be an ER fluid.

The electrorheological properties pertaining to the electrorheological (ER) bebaviour of chitin and chitosan suspensions in silicone oil were investigated. Chitosan suspension showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) upon application of an electric field, while chitin suspension acted as a Newtonian fluid. The difference in behaior results from the difference in the conductivity of the chitin and chitosan particles, even though they have a similar chemical structure. The shear stress for the chitosan suspension exhibited a linear dependence on the volume fraction of particles and a 1.18 power of the electric field. The experimental results for the chitosan suspension correlated with the conduction model for ER response.

The electrorheological(ER) performance of a chitosan sebaciate suspension in silicone oil was investigated by varying the electric fields, volume fractions of particles, and shear rates, respectively. The chitosan sebacicate susepnsion showed a typical ER response caused by the polarizability of an amide polar group and shear yield stress due to the formation of multiple chains upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the suspension exhibited a linear dependence on the volume fraction of particles and an electric field power of 1.88. On the basis of the results, the newly synthesized chitosan sebacicate suspension was found to be an anhydrous ER fluid.

This paper presents some inherent characteristics of a semi-active variable damper featuring electro-rheological (ER) fluid. The damping force of the damper can be selectively adjusted or controlled by employing electric field to the ER fluid domain. This is possible owing to the pressure drop across the piston occured by field-dependent variable yield stress of the ER fluid. This is fundamentally different than the performance of a conventional adjustable viscous damper. To demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority over the conventional one, the proposed damper is incorporated with a suspension system. A quarter car model with the suspension system is formulated and represented by a state equation. By choosing numerical values based on realistic package size, power requirements and suitable ER properties, the performance characteristics of the suspension system are obtained and evaluated in both frequency and time domains. The effects of constant electric field and on-off controlled electric field which relates to the damping force are also examined.
