An Interplay between Chemical Reaction of Fine Particles and Rheology of Disperse Systems

Abstract

Problems spanning the boarder across the suspension rheology and fine particles reaction are discussed. Three case studies are given with regard to the change in the rheological behavior of concentrated suspension due to chemical reactions: (1) change in the aggregation morphology in the silica/silica sol suspension on aging, (2) influence of the in situ surface precipitation of indiumtin solid solution on the surface of indium oxide, and (3) effects of surface scratching and aging of soda lime glass particles on the electrorheological properties of their dispersions.
