▎ 摘  要

Core-shell-structured poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/graphene oxide (GO) composite particles were prepared using a facile process, in which GO was adsorbed spontaneously onto a microspherical PMMA surface when hydrophobic microspheres were dispersed in deionized (DI) water stabilized by amphiphilic GO under ultrasonication. The fabricated composite was characterized by SEM, TEM, FT-IR, and thermogravimetric analysis. Results showed that the particle surface could be wrapped with GO without the need for surfactants. In addition, electrorheological behavior of the chain-forming process of the PMMA/GO composite particles was observed by optical microscopy under an applied electric field. Both shear stress and shear viscosity related to the strength of the applied electric field were measured using a rotational rheometer. The proposed Cho-Choi-Jhon model was used to describe their ER performances for the entire shear rate region. Moreover, the response of the shear stress to an imposed square voltage at a fixed shear rate was also examined.
