Rheology for Ceramists (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780557814053)

This book was written to help ceramists to understand the subject of rheology as it applies to suspensions. Topics discussed include viscosity and rheology fundamentals, syneresis and dilatancy and their causes and effects in ceramic process systems, the rheological effects of gelation, flocculation, and deflocculation, as well as the different types of viscometers that can be used to measure rheological properties. Many practical considerations are included throughout this book. The discussion in the final chapter covers the methods available to adjust and control suspension rheologies in the ceramic process environment. This book will be valuable reading and a handy reference for all ceramists, including students, technicians, engineers, managers, and artists, who want to learn more about the rheology of suspensions.
