Effect of Filler Particle Size and Shape on Composite Rheology

6 Effect of Filler Particle Size and Shape on the Rheological Properties of Composites 

Particle size and shape have a strong effect on the rheological properties of materials as well, viscosity among them. 

As an illustration we refer to the data of Lackdavala and Salovey [160] who studied the flow of styrene/butyl methacrylate copolymer composites with ash of 

Filler content, % aci values for ash with specific surface areas, m2/g
