Reviewer 2 Report
The authors show a proof of concept of a novel design of electrorheological cell very relevant for the characterisation of electrorheological properties. The paper not only includes the working principle but also shows its versatility and provides insights into the mechanisms behind the observed results. It will certainly have a significant impact in the field of electrorheology and deserves to be published.
Just some minor comments on technical details and perspectives:
Figure 1. Error bar barely visible. Units should be added to the sizes indicated Dimmensions of the rotational rheometer with so many digits seem not relevant Although it might seem obvious, the variables in the electric field expression should be defined The authors should specify what type of Joule effect they are referring to (Joule Heating?) and explain more why this effect takes place in their sample as well as if they can estimate its importance. Define μ in line 128 Include the Stokes equation The relative dielectric constant value of the continuous phase should be included. How was it determined? Could the authors provide more specific examples of systems with clear applicability of their approach? It would help increase the impact of the paper in a broader communityAuthor Response
