Rheology of Particulate Dispersions and Composites

This book demonstrates how understanding rheological behavior is crucial to process design and materials development for a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications. It examines the principles and equations that govern the rheology of particulate dispersions and of two-phase solid composites. The author introduces definitions and important concepts such as fluid/interfacial mechanics, bulk stress, and dipole strength. Then he analyzes the rheology of dispersions for rigid and nonrigid particles. The final chapters address elastic properties of particle- and fiber-reinforced solid composites and discuss the dynamic viscoelastic behavior of particulate dispersions and composites.

Rheology of Particulate Dispersions and Composites provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental principles and equations that govern the rheology for particulate dispersions and two-phase solid composites. The rheological properties of suspensions, emulsions, bubbly liquids (foams) and other dispersions appear alongside those of solid composite materials for the first time in this unique, single source.

The first section introduces applications, definitions, and important concepts such as fluid/solid/interfacial mechanics, bulk stress in dispersed systems, and dipole strength of particles. Subsequent chapters systematically consider the rheology for a wide variety of dispersions, including systems of:

Rigid spherical and nonspherical particles (porous, nonporous, neutral, electrically charged, and magnetic particles)

Nonrigid particles (deformable solid particles, droplets, bubbles, capsules, and coreshell particles)

The final sections address the elastic properties of particle- and fiber-reinforced solid composite materials. They also discuss dynamic viscoelastic behavior of particulate dispersions and composites.

From process design to novel materials development, Rheology of Particulate Dispersions and Composites

illustrates the need for understanding rheological behavior throughout numerous commercial and industrial applications. This book is a versatile resource for students and scientists from a broad range of disciplines involved in the application, research, and development of dispersed systems.
