Concentrated, non-crystallizing colloidal suspensions in their approach of the glass state exhibit distinct dynamics patterns. These patterns suggest a powerlaw rheological constitutive model for nearglass viscoelasticity, as presented here. The rheological parameters used for this model originate in the mode-coupling theory. The proposed constitutive model provides explicit expressions for the...

Highly filled polymeric suspensions, such as those involved in Powder Injection Moulding (PIM), exhibit complex rheological behaviour. A detailed understanding of the rheology of these suspensions is prerequisite for their optimum and safe processing. In present paper, rheological behaviour of highly filled WC-Co compounds during capillary flow was studied with emphasis on apparent slip. Contri...

Experimental rheological aspects of colloidal dispersions are now being investigated with improved skills and with better defined model systems. New methods allow more detailed investigations. The relationship between the rheological macroproperties, microproperties and processes is the focus of the most recent investigations. Better insight has been gained concerning this relationship. type of...

To understand the dynamic rheological behavior of polar molecular electrorheological (PMER) fluids, the shear stress and viscosity of the colloids are compared with the parameters of their lamellar structures which are obtained simultaneously with the rheological characteristics using an electrorheoscope. The results of the experiments and molecular dynamics simulation indicate that the shear s...

Binary and ternary blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) were prepared using a one-step extrusion process. Rheological and mechanical properties of the prepared blends were determined. Rheological properties were studied using a capillary rheometer, shear rate, shear stress, non-Newtonian index, shear viscosity and flow activation energy w...

This paper characterizes the effects of artificial short term aging in the laboratory on the rheological properties of virgin 80/100 penetration grade asphalt binder. After several years in service, asphalt mixture started to deteriorate due to aging. Aging is a complex physico-chemical phenomenon that influences asphalt binder rheological properties causing a deterioration in asphalt mixture p...

The rheological properties of acid hydrolyzed corn stover at high solids concentration (20-35 wt.%) were investigated using torque rheometry. These materials are yield stress fluids whose rheological properties can be well represented by the Bingham model. Yield stresses increase with increasing solids concentration and decrease with increasing hydrolysis reaction temperature, acid concentratio...

This study was conducted to determine the rheological properties of gochujang and chogochujang at different temperatures (25, 35, and 45°C). Rheological properties of the samples were determined using a rotational rheometer at a shear range of 1 to 40 s-1. Gochujang and chogochujang were found to be non-Newtonian fluids according to the Herschel-Bulkley model. Yield stress and consistency coeff...

Although the importance of rheological properties in controlling the dynamics and evolution of the whole mantle of Earth is well-recognized, experimental studies of rheological properties and deformation-induced microstructures have mostly been limited to low-pressure conditions. This is mainly a result of technical limitations in conducting quantitative rheological experiments under high-press...

Solder paste is a homogeneous, stable suspension of solder powder particles suspended in a flux binder, and is one of the most important process materials today in surface mount technology (SMT). By varying the solder particle size, distribution and shape, as well as the other constituent materials, the rheology and printing performance of solder pastes can be controlled. Paste flow behavior is...
