Abstract
Suspensions of submicron particles in a liquid respond to flow in a variety of ways depending on the size, concentration, and shape of the particles and the nature and magnitude of the interparticle potentials. The most dramatic phenomena occur when one of the interparticle forces dominates, e.g., strong van der Waals forces for aqueous latices at high ionic strengths1 or carbon black particles in mineral oil2, long range electrostatic repulsions for colloidal crystals3,4, and the interactions between adsorbed polymer layers in sterically stabilized suspensions near closest packing5,6. Even with hard sphere interactions though, the rheology is significantly shear-thinning at moderate concentrations7,8. In each case the non-Newtonian phenomena, whether elastic or pseudoplastic, derive from many-body interactions involving both hydrodynamic and interparticle forces.
