To understand the dynamic rheological behavior of polar molecular electrorheological (PMER) fluids, the shear stress and viscosity of the colloids are compared with the parameters of their lamellar structures which are obtained simultaneously with the rheological characteristics using an electrorheoscope. The results of the experiments and molecular dynamics simulation indicate that the shear stress is mainly contributed by the moving particle rings, and there is an inverse correlation between the width of the moving particle rings and the shear stress.
