Rheology of Suspensions/Dispersions
Feb 28 2014
Date: Thursday 10 – Friday 11 April 2014
Venue: University of Leeds
This course will cover the following topics:
- Hydrodynamic effects (large particles)
- Suspensions of Brownian hard spheres
- Stable Colloids
- Flocculated/gelling systems
- Rheological measurements
- Emulsions
Who should attend?
Scientists and engineers in the chemical, petroleum, polymers, coatings, inks, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and general chemical industries with responsibility for R&D projects, process engineering, manufacturing or product formulation involving fine particle dispersions, emulsions and colloids.
This course covers the rheology of fluids in which particles are suspended. Colloidal and non-colloidal particles are considered as well as nanoparticles. The rheology of suspensions is important during their production, processing and application. The emphasis is on understanding the flow behaviour of complex systems. Where possible quantitative or semi quantitative relations and scaling laws are presented with which the rheological parameters can be predicted or estimated. This should provide the basis for a rational approach to formulating and measuring dispersions.
