Examples rheological properties

However, microgels are able to interpenetrate and shrink at high packing density. An effective volume fraction that takes the influence of temperature on particle size into account can still be employed in order to obtain temperature-independent curves for, for example, rheological properties however, the absolute values are no longer correct. The interaction potential between microgel particles in such dense suspensions depends on the aoss-link density and was described not only by a power-law potential but also by a bmshlike interaction. ... 

In the past decade adjustments in many of the more subtle variables that affect the feed to a filter ha e begun to be used to control dewatering presses and improve their pertorrnance. These variables allect the perrneabilitv, compressibility, and rheological properties ot the feed and the resulting cake. For example, pll, streaming potential. 

Industrial production media must also contain sources of potassium, phosphorous and magnesium. Trace elements may also have to be added. The water used for medium preparation will be from the public water supply or other readily available source. The quality of the water is carefully monitored because the presence of certain metal salts, for example, calcium, copper and iron, can have adverse effects on both the growth of the oiganism and the rheological properties of the exopolysaccharides. 

Investigations of the rheological properties of disperse systems are very important both from the fundamental and applied points of view (1-5). For example, the non-Newtonian and viscoelastic behaviour of concentrated dispersions may be related to the interaction forces between the dispersed particles (6-9). On the other hand, such studies are of vital practical importance, as, for example, in the assessment and prediction of the longterm physical stability of suspensions (5). 

Similarly, one frequent prerequisite is that the pigments used have little or no effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the plastic. One example here is the change in rheological properties of PVC plastisols or of PVC melts during processing. 

Liquid-crystalline polymers with stiff backbones have many static and dynamic solution properties markedly distinct from usual flexible polymers. For example, their solutions are transformed from isotropic to liquid crystal state with increasing concentration. While very high in the concentrated isotropic state, their viscosity decreases drastically as the concentration crosses the phase boundary toward the liquid crystal state. The unique rheological properties they exhibit in the liquid crystal state are also remarkable.
