[PMID: 38670010 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The development of highly NIR reflective black single-shell hollow nanoparticles (BSS-HNPs) can overcome the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor limitations of dark-tone materials. The crystalline phase of TiO2 and the refractive index can be controlled by calcination temperature. The formation of hollow structure and the refractive index is expected to simultaneously increase the light reflection and LiDAR detectability. EXPERIMENTS The BSS-HNPs are synthesized using the sol-gel method, calcination, NaBH4 reduction, and etching to form a hollow structure with true blackness. The computational bandgap calculation is conducted to determine the bandgap energy (Eg) of the white and black TiO2 with different crystalline structures. The blackness of the as-synthesized materials is determined by the Commission on Illumination (CIE) L*a*b* color system. FINDINGS The hydrophilic nature of BSS-HNPs enables the formulation of hydrophilic paints, allowing the mono-layer coating. With the synergistic effects of hollow structure and the refractive index, BSS-HNPs manifested superb NIR reflectance at LiDAR detection wavelengths. The high detectability, blackness, and hollow structure of BSS-HNPs can expand the variety of LiDAR-detectable dark-tone materials.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Surface modification of dielectric materials changes the dipole-dipole interactions under electric fields, thereby controlling the electrorheological (ER) response. The introduction of metal oxides onto mica templates and further coating of dyes is expected to simultaneously improve the color clarity and ER performance. EXPERIMENTS Dye-coated TiO2 platelets on mica are synthesized for high-performance colorful ER fluids. A sol-gel method is utilized to grow TiO2 on mica to prepare precursor light-colored mica/TiO2 materials, which are coated with appropriate dyes to enhance the vividness as determined by the Commission Internationale de clairage L*a*b* color system. The color expression and color clarity improvement are explained via the light interference effect and the presence of chromophores. FINDINGS The uniform TiO2 layers can be obtained under low pH conditions with controlled nucleation kinetics. The addition of dyes to TiO2 increases the surface area and porosity of ER materials and introduces heteroatoms that act as positive factors. In practical ER applications, dye-coated TiO2-based ER fluids exhibit higher ER performances compared with the corresponding light-colored TiO2-based ER fluids. The vivid-colored ER fluids could provide an easy selection for a wide range of rheological systems requiring a specific magnitude of stress by confirming the color.

Gels 2023; 9:891. [PMID: 37998981 PMCID: PMC10671164 DOI: 10.3390/gels9110891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of plate-like materials to induce a percolation gel-like effect in electrorheological (ER) fluids is sparsely documented. Hence, we dispersed plate-like materials, namely natural mica, synthetic mica, and glass, as well as their pulverized particles, in various concentrations in silicone oil to form ER fluids. Subsequently, the rheological properties of the fluids were evaluated and compared to identify the threshold concentration for percolating a gel-like state. The shear stress and viscoelastic moduli under zero-field conditions confirmed that plate-like materials can be used to induce percolation gel-like effects in ER fluids. This is because of the high aspect ratio of the materials, which enhances their physical stability. In practical ER investigations, ER fluids based on synthetic mica (30.0 wt%) showed the highest yield stress of 516.2 Pa under an electric field strength of 3.0 kV mm-1. This was attributed to the formation of large-cluster networks and additional polarization induced by the ions. This study provides a practical approach for developing a new type of gel-like ER fluid.

Abstract
Hollow TiO2 nanoparticles (HNPs) capped with conducting polymers, such as polythiophene (PT), polypyrrole (PPy), and polyaniline (PANI), have been studied to be used as polarizability-tunable electrorheological (ER) fluids. The hollow shape of TiO2 nanoparticles, achieved by the removal of the SiO2 template, offers colloidal dispersion stability in silicone oil owing to the high number density. Conducting polymer shells, introduced on the nanoparticle surface using vapor deposition polymerization method, improve the yield stress of the corresponding ER fluids in the order of PANI < PPy < PT. PT-HNPs exhibited the highest yield stress of ca. 94.2 Pa, which is 5.0-, 1.5-, and 9.6-times higher than that of PANI-, PPy-, and bare HNPs, respectively. The improved ER response upon tuning with polymer shells is attributed to the space charge contribution arising from the movement of the charge carriers trapped by the heterogeneous interface. The ER response of studied ER fluids is consistent with the corresponding polarizability results as indicated by the permittivity and electrophoretic mobility measurements. In conclusion, the synergistic effect of hollow nanostructures and conducting polymer capping effectively enhanced the ER performance.

Abstract
Herein, the electrorheological (ER) performances of ER fluids were correlated with their colors to allow for the visual selection of the appropriate fluid for a specific application using naked eyes. A series of TiO2-coated synthetic mica materials colored white, yellow, red, violet, blue, and green (referred to as color mica/TiO2 materials) were fabricated via a facile sol-gel method. The colors were controlled by varying the thickness of the TiO2 coating layer, as the coatings with different thicknesses exhibited different light interference effects. The synthesized color mica/TiO2 materials were mixed with silicone oil to prepare colored ER fluids. The ER performances of the fluids decreased with increasing thickness of the TiO2 layer in the order of white, yellow, red, violet, blue, and green materials. The ER performance of differently colored ER fluids was also affected by the electrical conductivity, dispersion stability, and concentrations of Na+ and Ca2+ ions. This pioneering study may provide a practical strategy for developing new ER fluid systems in future.

Abstract
This paper proposes the fabrication of a new type of electrorheological (ER) fluid with ecoresorbable features as well as excellent electroresponsive performance. The proposed ER fluid consists of biocompatible Mg-doped silica/titania hollow nanoparticles (ST HNPs) suspended in vegetable oils (canola, grapeseed, olive, and soy). The effects of biodegradable plant-derived carrier liquids on the ER performance are analyzed. The polarizability and wettability of the fabricated ER fluids are studied. The high polarizability of the nanoparticles contributes to the highly electroresponsive performance by inducing electrostatic interactions between the nanoparticles under electric fields; this enables the formation of a rigid and strong fibril structure. A suitable wettability, which represents the favorable interaction between the oil and the nanoparticles, allows the nanoparticles to disperse evenly in the oil and prevents their aggregation, thereby making the formation of a rigid and strong fibrillar structure under the electric field easier.

Composite particles associated with graphene oxide (GO) and inorganic materials provide the synergistic properties of an appropriate electrical conductivity of GO with the good dielectric characteristics of inorganic materials, making them attractive candidates for electrorheological (ER) materials. This review paper focuses on the fabrication mechanisms of GO/inorganic composites and their ER response when suspended in a non-conducting medium, including steady shear flow curves, dynamic yield stress, On-Off tests, and dynamic oscillation analysis. Furthermore, the morphologies of these composites, dielectric properties, and sedimentation of the ER fluids are covered.

Abstract
Inverted conducting polymer/metal oxide core/shell structured pPPy/SiO2-TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared as electrorheological (ER) materials using sequential experimental methods. The core was synthesized via the low-temperature self-assembly of PPy and SiO2 materials, and the outer TiO2 shell was easily coated onto the core part using a sol-gel method and a titanium isopropoxide precursor. Sonication-mediated etching and redeposition were employed to etch out SiO2 portions from the core part to blend with TiO2 shells. Each step in nanoparticle synthesis involved morphological and physical changes to the surface area and porosity, with subsequent changes in the intrinsic properties of the materials. Specifically, the electrical conductivity and dielectric properties were successfully altered. The final pPPy/SiO2-TiO2 nanoparticle configuration was optimized for ER applications, offering low electrical conductivity, high dielectric properties, and increased dispersion stability. pPPy/SiO2-TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited 24.7- and 2.7-fold enhancements in ER performance compared to that of PPy-SiO2 and PPy-SiO2/TiO2 precursor nanoparticles, respectively. The versatile method proposed in this study for the synthesis of inverted conducting polymer/metal oxide core/shell nanoparticles shows great potential for the development of custom-designed ER materials.

Abstract
Wrinkled silica nanoparticle (WSN)-based hollow SiO2/TiO2 nanoparticles (W-HNPs) with hierarchically arrayed internal surfaces were prepared via the combination of sol-gel, TiO2 coating, and etching of core template techniques. The hierarchical internal surface of W-HNPs was attained using WSNs as a core template. Compared with SiO2 sphere-templated hollow SiO2/TiO2 nanoparticles (S-HNPs) with flat inner surfaces, W-HNPs displayed distinctive surface areas, TiO2 loading amounts, and dielectric properties arising from the hierarchical internal surface. The unique properties of W-HNPs were further investigated as an electrorheological (ER) material. W-HNP-based ER fluids exhibited ca. 1.9-fold enhancement in the ER efficiency compared to that of S-HNP-based ER fluids. Such enhancement was attributed to the unique inner surface of W-HNPs, which effectively enhanced the polarizability by increasing the number of charge accumulation sites, and to the presence of the high-dielectric TiO2. This study demonstrated the advantages, in terms of practical ER applications, of hollow nanomaterials having uniquely arrayed internal spaces.

Abstract
Bowl-like titanium oxide nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a simple solvothermal method using absolute ethanol and isopropanol as the cosolvent. Ostwald ripening coupled with the inner-stress-induce effect were assumed to play an important role in the formation of this unique bowl-like morphology. The morphological evolution from solid nanosphere to bowl-like nanoparticle was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Besides, the structural characteristics of the as-synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, a rotational rheometer was operated to examine the electrorheological (ER) effect. Excellent ER properties were achieved when the TiO2 particles were dispersed in silicone oil under an external electric field.

Abstract
Electrophotorheological (EPR) fluids, whose rheological activity is dually responsive to light and electric fields (E fields), is formulated by mixing photosensitive spiropyran-decorated silica (SP-sSiO2) nanoparticles with zwitterionic lecithin and mineral oil. A reversible photorheological (PR) activity of the EPR fluid is developed via the binding and releasing mechanism of lecithin and merocyanine (MC, a photoisomerized form of SP) under ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) light applications. Moreover, the EPR fluid exhibits an 8-fold higher electrorheological (ER) performance compared to the SP-sSiO2 nanoparticle-based ER fluid (without lecithin) under an E field, which is attributed to the enhanced dielectric properties facilitated by the binding of the lecithin and SP molecules. Upon dual application of UV light and an E field, the EPR fluid exhibits high EPR performance (ca. 115.3 Pa) that far exceeds its separate PR (ca. 0.8 Pa) and ER (ca. 57.5 Pa) activities, because of the synergistic contributions of the PR and ER effects through rigid and fully connected fibril-like structures. Consequently, this study offers a strategy on formulation of dual-stimuli responsive smart fluid systems.

Abstract
The mixed geometrical effect on the electrorheological (ER) activity of bimodal ER fluids was investigated by mixing SiO2 spheres and rods of different dimensions. To gain an in-depth understanding of the mixed geometrical effect, 12 bimodal ER fluids were prepared from 4 sizes of SiO2 spheres (50, 100, 150, and 350 nm) and 3 types of SiO2 rods with different aspect ratios (L/D = 2, 3, and 5). Five concentrations of SiO2 spheres and rods were created for each bimodal ER fluid, resulting in a total of 60 sets of comprehensive ER measurements. Some bimodal ER fluids exhibited enhanced ER performance, as high as 23.0%, compared to single SiO2 rod-based ER fluids to reveal the mixed geometrical effect of bimodal ER fluids. This interesting experimental result is based on the structural reinforcement provided by spheres to fibrillated rod materials, demonstrating the mixed geometrical effect on ER activity.
