Electrorheological (ER) effects in the nematic (Ne), the smectic A (SmA) and the isotropic (Is) phases of octyloxy cyanobiphenyl (8OCB) are studied. When an electric field is applied, a large decrease of the viscosity is observed in the Sm A phase, while in the Ne phase an increase of the viscosity is recognized with an anomalous ER effect near the SmA-Ne phase transition. These behaviors are suggested to be general properties of the liquid crystal exhibiting the phase sequence of SmA-Ne-Is.
