The aim of this study is to elaborate electro-rheological fluids based on kaolinite. the scientific characterization made it possible the identification of the composite nature and the checking of the intercalation of the polymer among the clay particles The rheological behaviour of the fluid depends on the electric field. A yield stress of the suspensions is observed, which increases with the applied electric field. An interpretation based on the different modes of association between the clay particles is proposed to account qualitatively for the observed behaviour.

The theory of dielectrophoresis in clay–water–electrolyte systems is developed in this paper. Dielectrophoresis is the motion of particles generated by a nonuniform electric field. The dielectrophoretic forces on clay particles are determined by the effective polarizability and configuration of the nonuniform electric field. In most clay–water–electrolyte systems, including natural clays, the dielectrophoretic forces are directed towards the lower field intensity, determined by the negative polarizability. In the experimental program, an ac voltage of 60 Hz and 15 kV was applied through insulated electrodes on block samples of Leda clay for 28 days. The relationship between the soil undrained shear strength after treatment and the distribution of electric field provides direct experimental support for the theory developed. Under three electrical-field configurations, the overall shear strengths increased up to 44.0%, concurrent with significant reduction of sensitivity. The improvement of soil properties was also reflected as increases of preconsolidation pressure and shearing resistance in terms of effective stresses. The electrochemical reactions associated with electric current were minimized by insulation to the electrodes. Key words : dielectrophoresis, electrokinetics, soil improvement, sensitive clay, shear strength.

If a light quantum has an electric moment, we should expect its axis to coincide with the direction of the electric vector, and therefore to be perpendicular to the plane of polarisation. Now an electric doublet of moment μ on entering a uniform electric field E with its doubletaxis parallel or antiparallel to the field will have its energy changed by an amount ∓ μE. For a light quantum this is equivalent to a change in wave-lengthwhen in the field. The method adopted to detect this change was to set up a grating with a strong electric field normal to its surface, and then have a plane polarised parallel beam of light fall on the ruled surface with the electric vector parallel to the direction of the field. The spectra formed near the normal to the grating were then examined both in the presence and absence of the field.

In a previous paper [Lewak (1969), see also Pflrsch (1966) for related treatment], it was shown that the Vlasov equation in the Semi-Lagrangian (S.L.) formulation, may be written in a form resembling the fluid equations.plus Maxwell's equations with the source terms given bywhere n is the determinant of the tensor Tij = ∂gi/∂ζj, and N is the constant mean number density of electrons. The averaging notation < > here is defined bywhere f(σ) is the electron distribution function to be specified. The equations assume for simplicity a uniform fixed ion background, although this is not a necessary restriction and equations (1) and (2) need only an obvious modification to account for ions. The force fields in (1) are related to the electric field E and magnetic field B in the plasma by .
