Novel porous filler for electrorheological fluids was fabricated from chitosan via freeze drying technique. An exceptional electrorheological effect was discovered in suspensions of polydimethylsiloxane (silicone oil) filled by highly porous chitosan particles. The electrorheological activity was studied by rotational rheometry and visualized by optical microscopy. High porosity of the filler allows preparing highly efficient electrorheological fluids at rather low ( less then 1 wt%) concentration of dispersed phase. The mechanism of cha
