Recently, we have reported on an electrically induced "phase inversion" phenomenon which was discovered in a urethane-modified polypropylene glycol (UPPG)/dimethylsiloxane (DMS) blend. The phenomenon occurs when the fraction of UPPG is high but UPPG forms droplets dispersed in DMS matrix. When the electric field is applied, UPPG becomes the continuous matrix and DMS breaks into droplets. The domain morphology does not return to the original structure (DMS = matrix, UPPG = droplets) even after turning off the field. To clarify the relation between the phase inversion and the resulting ER effect, we observed the domain structure in UPPG/DMS blends under both the electric and shear fields.
