Abstract
Electrorheological fluids have been prepared at low applied electric f ields from BP oils containing microcrystalline cellulose (MCC); even a t a low applied electric field of 500 V mm(-1), 10% MCC in oils rich i n linoleic or oleic acids behave as electrorheological fluids with the latter displaying significantly higher yield stresses.
