Rheology of Particulate Dispersions and Composites : CRC Press : 9780367453343 : 0367453347 : 02 Dec 2019 : 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 particl
