Modeling the shear-dependent viscosity of nonionically stabilized waterborne dispersions

Abstract The performance of a rheological model that accounts for the effect volume fraction, particle size distribution, and shear rate on viscosity water-borne dispersions stabilized with conventional nonionic surfactants polymeric stabilizers is assessed. contains three parameters fitted well experimental data. were independent rate. Furthermore, two them not affected by surfactant type concentration, temperature. other parameter increased molecular weight surface covering, but decreased increasing Graphical
