Abstract
AbstractThe shear viscosity and primary normal stress coefficient were measured for colloidal dispersions of monodisperse silica spheres in poly(dimethylsiloxane). The viscometric properties of the dispersions were a function of the shear rate, particle diameter, and the volume fraction of particles. Dimensional analysis of rheological properties of colloidal dispersions of spherical particles in a second‐order fluid was performed, and the experimental data were analyzed in terms of the appropriate dimensionless groups. The reduced shear viscosity of the colloidal dispersions was a function of the volume fraction of particles and the reduced shear stress (or reduced shear rate). The reduced primary normal stress coefficient was a function of the volume fraction of particles, the reduced shear rate, and the Weissenberg number.
