Rheology of Dispersions
7th November 2001, at SCI 14/15 Belgrave Square, London
Colloidal dispersions are important to a wide range of industries. The rheological properties of dispersions affect manufacturability and end-use. The rheology of a formulation also gives an indication of the colloidal state and interactions.
Target audience: Practitioners but non-experts. Expect some colloid expertise but no great theoretical background. Colloid scientists who want to learn more about rheology and vice versa. Formulators and industrial scientists interested in product-process interactions. PhD students.
