Description

Fabrication of silica / TiO2 nanotubes and their application to electrorheological fluid

The present invention provides silica / titanium dioxide nanotubes prepared using an interfacial sol-gel method, which occurs only on the surface of silica nanotubes through surface charges introduced into silica nanotubes. To the application of an electrorheological fluid.

       Electrorheological fluid is a colloidal solution in which fine particles with polarity are dispersed in an insulating fluid. General term for fluid. The behavior of the electrofluidic fluid is due to the dielectric polarization of the dispersed particles by applying the electric field to the colloid in which the polarizable particles are dispersed in the solvent and by the mutual attraction of the dispersed particles. The particles result from the formation of a fiber or chain structure by an external electric field. The electro-fluidic fluid has been actively studied since it was first reported by Winslow in 1949 that the viscosity of the fluid changed depending on the strength of the electric field when the silica particles were dispersed in oil.

       Electrorheological fluids can transform rheological properties by controlling the intensity of an external electric field applied and can be applied with great advantages such as low initial viscosity, high shear stress under low external field and low power consumption. In addition to replacing existing complex mechanical systems, the system can be miniaturized and lightened, or its structure as a whole, as well as the responsiveness of fluids to electric fields and the reversibility of rheological effects. It suggests a variety of potential applications, and a lot of research is being carried out as a scaffold for practical application of applications such as shock absorbers, engine mounts, and braking systems.

In recent years, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) has been actively studied and recognized for its application as a dispersed particle of an electrorheological fluid. In particular, due to the high polarization caused by the high dielectric constant 200 of titanium dioxide, and excellent environmental stability has attracted a lot of attention. In addition, nanometer-sized titanium dioxide has superior physical properties compared to conventional bulk materials due to its relatively high surface area.

Recently, after a lot of experiments and in-depth research, the team decided to use a micelle in the form of a cylinder by interacting with a surfactant and a metal salt, without using a method that is completely different from the existing manufacturing method, that is, expensive porous template. After the formation, it was confirmed that silica particles in the form of nanotubes can be prepared by hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) on the micelle surface (Adv. Mater. Vol. 16, pp. 799-). 802). In addition, the team confirmed that it is possible to coat titanium dioxide on silica nanoparticles using the interfacial sol-gel method, which occurs only on the surface of silica nanoparticles through the additional surface charges of the prepared silica nanoparticles. Application to the rheology fluid has led to the present invention.

Therefore, in order to apply the silica / titanium dioxide nanotubes to the electrorheological fluids through prior studies, it is necessary to study the dispersion method of the nanoparticles, and to improve the characteristics and commercialization of the electrorheological fluids. There is a strong demand for studies on the electrorheological properties, long-term dispersion stability, and prevention of aggregation due to surface modification.

An object of the present invention is to easily solve the problems of the prior art, and to easily introduce the silica / titanium dioxide nanotubes prepared in the electro-fluidic fluid based on the previous research in the electro-fluidic fluid, the electro-rheological characteristics according to the content of the nanoparticles and the electric field strength To check.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrorheological fluid constructed in such a manner.

After many experiments and in-depth studies, the present inventors easily manufactured silica / titanium dioxide, that is, a cylinder-shaped micelle was formed through interaction between a surfactant and a metal salt, and then produced through a hydration reaction. It was confirmed that the silica / titanium dioxide nanotubes could be prepared through the interfacial sol-gel reaction of the titanium dioxide precursor on the silica nanotubes, and thus, the present invention was applied to an electrorheological fluid.
