Viscometric Analysis of Dispersions at Small Shear Stresses

Abstract
The flow behavior of certain dispersions at small shear stresses has been studied in a rotational viscometer. Criteria which were used in analyzing the dispersions are the relative viscosity and its temperature dependence, the ratio of viscosities at infinite and zero shear, sedimentation rates, and the existence of a critical volume concentration for the occurrence of non-Newtonian behavior.
