14. Schematic illustration of the connection between suspension
microstructure, interparticle forces and rheological behavior
Repulsive forces (dispersed systems)
Liquid-like
microstructure of
individual particles.
Usually no yield stress.
Weakly attractive forces (weak flocculation)
Particles form loose
flocs which flow as
units. Shear thinning
is observed.
Strongly attractive forces (coagulation)
Interconnected fractal
networks are formed
with a measurable yield
.
