The electrorheology of hollow PANI derivative suspensions in silicone oil was investigated by varying the electric fields and shear rates, respectively. The hollow PANI derivative susepnsions showed a typical electrorheological (ER) response caused by the polarizability of an amide polar group and shear yield stress due to the formation of chains upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the hollow PANI succinate suspension exhibited an electric field power of 0.67. On the basis of the experimental results, the newly synthesized hollow PANI derivative suspensions were found to be an anhydrous ER fluid.
