Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are a suspension fluid and a method for preparing the suspension fluid. Particularly, the suspension fluid is prepared by dispersing fumed silica particles in a solvent that includes one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, and water. The phase-change suspension fluid obtained from the present invention is a shear thickening fluid that have a constant Newtonian behavior at a low rate of shear or a low frequency band, and further have a non-Newtonian behavior as a solid-like suspension at a high rate of shear or a high frequency band due to an increase in viscosity. In addition, the phase-change suspension fluid may reversibly change its phase with vibration of a vehicle, thereby providing advantages of both of the hydro bushes and the solid type bushes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 5 . (canceled) 6 . A method for preparing a phase-change suspension fluid, comprising: (i) preparing a suspension fluid by adding and dispersing fumed silica particles in a solvent including one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, and water; (ii) sonicating the suspension fluid; and (iii) removing air from the sonicated suspension fluid by placing the sonicated suspension fluid in a vacuum chamber. 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the step of (ii) for sonicating the suspension fluid is performed for about 9 to 12 hours. 8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the step of (iii) for removing air is performed for about 9 to 12 hours. 9 - 10 . (canceled)
