Abstract

An electroviscous fluid composition comprising a dispersion medium of two nonmiscible components (A) and (B) as below, the volum ratio of (A)/(B) being in the ratio 99/1-1/99, and a dispersoid (C) as below; wherein the true specific gravity of the dispersoid (C) is greater than the specific gravity of said component (A) and less than the specific gravity of said component (B); PA0 Component (A): PA1 A silicone oil of general formula (I): EQU R.sub.a SiO.sub.(4-a)/2 (wherein R, which may be similar or dissimilar, are monovalent hydrocarbon groups with 1-18 carbon atoms and "a" lies in the range 1.8<a<3.0.) having a viscosity of 1-1,000 centistokes at 25.degree. C. and a specific gravity of 0.8-1.5, PA0 Component (B): PA1 A synthetic fluorinated oil having a viscosity of 1-1,000 centistokes at 25.degree. C. and a specific gravity greater than 1.4, PA0 Component (C): PA1 An addition polymer obtained by polymerizing a main component consisting of at least one type of monomer chosen from acrylic acid and its esters or metal salts, and methacrylic acid and its esters or metal salts; is disclosed. In this composition, there is far less sedimentation of dispersoid in comparison to conventi…
