Abstract

The thixotropic recovery times of concentrated pigment suspension inNewtonian liquids, such as toluene, paraffin oil, glycerol, etc., were studied between various “levels” of rates of shear. The thixotropic recovery time was related to the pigment concentration, pigment's degree of flocculation, sedimentation volume, viscosity of the liquid phase, and temperature. Theminima of the investigated functions corresponded to the sedimentation volumes equal unity; a transition from theexpanded to thecompressed type of suspension caused a profound change in the above relationships.
