Viscosity of bimodal and polydisperse colloidal suspensions

RA Lionberger - Physical Review E, 2002 - APS
We present a theoretical framework for the viscosity of bimodal and polydisperse colloidal
suspensions. For colloidal dispersions both interparticle forces between pairs of particles …

Viscosities of concentrated dispersions

TS Chow - Physical Review E, 1993 - APS
A theory is presented to describe the effects of particle shape, orientation, and volume
fraction on the anisotopic viscosities of concentrated colloidal dispersions. We start with …

The rheological behavior of concentrated colloidal dispersions

JF Brady - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1993 - pubs.aip.org
A simple model for the rheological behavior of concentrated colloidal dispersions is
developed. For a suspension of Brownian hard spheres there are two contributions to the …

The rheology of concentrated suspensions of arbitrarily-shaped particles

I Santamarı, CI Mendoza - Journal of colloid and interface science, 2010 - Elsevier
We propose an improved effective-medium theory to obtain the concentration dependence
of the viscosity of particle suspensions at arbitrary volume fractions. Our methodology can be …

An empirical model predicting the viscosity of highly concentrated, bimodal dispersions with colloidal interactions

B Dames, BR Morrison, N Willenbacher - Rheologica acta, 2001 - Springer
The relationship between particle size distribution and viscosity of concentrated dispersions
is of great industrial importance, since it is the key to get high solids dispersions or …

Linear viscoelasticity of colloidal mixtures

G Nägele, J Bergenholtz - The Journal of chemical physics, 1998 - pubs.aip.org
The low shear viscosity of simple fluids is a well understood transport quantity. It can be
calculated using kinetic theories1, 2 and computer simulations. 3 In particular, its relation to …

Interaction corrections to the viscosity of concentrated colloidal dispersions

MJ Grimson, GC Barker - Europhysics Letters, 1987 - iopscience.iop.org
The shear viscosity of a concentrated colloidal dispersion is calculated on the basis of a two-
fluid model. The repulsive interactions between particles give rise to a direct contribution to …

Factors affecting the viscosity of unimodal and multimodal colloidal dispersions

RL Hoffman - Journal of Rheology, 1992 - pubs.aip.org
Contrasting the flow response of aqueous dispersions of colloidally stable polymer particles
with dispersions controlled only by hydrodynamic interactions, we find that the …

The role of nanoscale forces in colloid dispersion rheology

NJ Wagner, JW Bender - Mrs Bulletin, 2004 - cambridge.org
Advances in our fundamental understanding of and control over interparticle colloidal forces
have enhanced our ability to formulate stable, complex fluids with colloidal and/or nano …

How confinement-induced structures alter the contribution of hydrodynamic and short-ranged repulsion forces to the viscosity of colloidal suspensions

M Ramaswamy, NYC Lin, BD Leahy, C Ness, AM Fiore… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
Confined systems ranging from the atomic to the granular are ubiquitous in nature.
Experiments and simulations of such atomic and granular systems have shown a complex …
