Terminology and Symbols in Colloid and Surface Chemistry Part 1.13. Definitions, Terminology and Symbols for Rheological Properties

1979 Pure and Applied Chemistry  
Prepared for publication by H. vanOlphen & J. Lyklema on behalf of IUPAC Commission I.6 on Colloid and Surface Chemistry of the Division of Physical Chemistry (see Note a.). RHEOLOGY Rheology is the study of the flow and deformation of matter under the influence of a mechanical force. It is concerned particularly with material behavior which cannot be described by the simple linear models of hydrodynamics and elasticity. Seme of these departures are due to the presence of colloidal particles or
more » ... to the influence of surfaces. Seme of the simple terms and concepts of rheol~y are of sufficient importance to colloid and surface chemistry to deserve inclusion in this manual.
