2017 Annual Meeting

Session: Phase Behavior, Rheology, and Processing of Nanoparticle Suspensions and Solutions

This session will cover liquid-dispersed nanomaterials, with an emphasis on the challenges of colloidal stability, liquid crystallinity, and aggregation. We also cover studies of the rheology of these systems and how rheological signatures connect to dispersion state.
