Colloid science deals with systems comprising molecules/particles with different dimensions, ranging from smaller (nanometer (10-9m) to larger (micrometer (10-6m) molecules/particles. As these systems contain a mixture of particles with different sizes, colloid systems are heterogeneous in nature. Colloid systems are very important as they have a wide range of applications, including adhesion, chromatography, detergency, precipitation,[…]
ABSTRACT Rheological properties of concentrated suspensions depend substantially on their structure; that is, on the formation of aggregates due to colloidal forces between particles. The aggregate size distribution is determined by the correlation between colloidal, Brownian and hydrodynamic forces in the system. Therefore, an investigation of the rheological properties of a suspension will provide valuable[…]
