Abstract
The electroviscous suspension is based on a mixture of aqueous silica gel with silicone oil as the liquid phase to which a dispersant is added. The dispersant consists of amino functional or silicon-functional polysiloxanes having a molecular weight above 800. The concentration of the dispersant is from 1 to 30% by weight and preferably from 5 to 20% by weight, based on the silica gel particles. Electroviscous suspensions such as these are distinguished by the fact that they are highly compatible with elastomeric materials, non-sedimenting, non-inflammable and physiologically acceptable. In addition, they are heat- and freeze-resistant over a wide temperature range and are largely unaffected by temperature and pressure in their viscosity.
