MonographDOI
Colloidal Suspension Rheology
Jan Mewis,Norman J. Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce colloid science and rheology, and present an overview of colloid physics and its applications in viscoelastic media. But they do not discuss the role of non-spherical particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yield stress and thixotropy: on the difficulty of measuring yield stresses in practice
TL;DR: It is argued here that most of the difficulties in determining yield stress disappear when taking the thixotropy of yield stress fluids into account, and an experimental protocol is demonstrated that allows reproducible data to be obtained for the critical stress necessary for flow of these fluids.

Journal ArticleDOI
The rheology of suspensions containing polymerically stabilized particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the specific effect of the stabilizer layer is investigated using suspensions of monodisperse PMMA particles with a chemically attached stabilizer, and the ratio between particle radius and stabilizer thickness is changed between 5 and 61.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thixotropy : Build-up and breakdown curves during flow
Konraad Dullaert,Jan Mewis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of flow history on the characteristic times and on the shape of the transient curves of thixotropic structures is investigated. But the authors do not consider the effects of shear history effects on the structure.
