Rheology of Concentrated Latexes and Dispersions

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 2))

Abstract

Although the rheology of concentrated latexes and dispersions has been an industrially important problem for many years (1–7), studies concerned with gaining a fundamental understanding of their flow behavior are not as plentiful as those concerned with relatively dilute systems. Part of the reason for this becomes evident when one considers how the study of suspension systems has evolved. Building upon Einstein’s classical work for dilute suspensions of rigid spheres, many authors attempted to modify his equations in a way that permits one to predict the flow behavior of more concentrated systems, but the success of this approach has been limited. Reasons for this relate to the fact that particle interactions, both hydrodynamic and non-hydrodynamic, become important at relatively low concentrations. Because of these difficulties with dispersions of low to moderate concentrations, studies with more concentrated systems have been slow to come. Recent studies make evident, however, that results from concentrated dispersions may actually aid one in better understanding the flow behavior of less concentrated systems.
