The aim of this study is to elaborate electro-rheological fluids based on kaolinite. the scientific characterization made it possible the identification of the composite nature and the checking of the intercalation of the polymer among the clay particles The rheological behaviour of the fluid depends on the electric field. A yield stress of the suspensions is observed, which increases with the applied electric field. An interpretation based on the different modes of association between the clay particles is proposed to account qualitatively for the observed behaviour.

Rheology studies the deformation and flow of matter and seeks to describe the deformations of material depending on the time they are exposed to mechanical actions. This paper proposes to understand the behavior of fresh mortar adhesives in Squeeze Flow tests based on rheological characterization of different commercial compositions. In the tests, flow of material results from the application of a compressive load on the sample in the fresh state which causes displacement due to stresses generated during radial shear flow. We performed further physical characterizations of mortars and viscosity on material passing the through a sieve with a 0.075 mm sieve opening with the objective of basing the analysis of the results obtained from Squeeze Flow tests. It was observed that the mortars studied showed differences in rheological behavior, probably resulting from synergistic action of some of the composition parameters, especially the particle size distribution and particle morphology.

The fresh and rheological properties of alkali mortars activated by blast furnace slag (BFS) were investigated. Consistency tests, squeeze flow, dropping ball, mass density in the hardened state, incorporated air, and water retention were performed. Mortars were produced with the ratio 1:2:0.45 (binder:sand:water), using not only ordinary Portland cement for control but also BFS, varying the sodium content of the activated alkali mortars from 2.5 to 15%. The results obtained permitted understanding that mortars containing 2.5 to 7.5% sodium present a rheological behavior similar to cementitious mortars by the Bingham model. In turn, the activated alkali mortars containing 10 to 15% sodium showed a very significant change in the properties of dynamic viscosity, which is associated with a change in the type of model, starting to behave similar to the Herschel–Bulkley model. Evaluating the properties of incorporated air and water retention, it appears that mortars containing 12.5% and 15% sodium do not have compatible properties, which is related to the occupation of sodium ions in the interstices of the material. Thus, it is concluded that the techniques used were consistent in the rheological characterization of activated alkali mortars.

Abstract This paper analyzes various techniques to use viscometers equipped with vane spindles to characterize rheological properties of yield stress fluids. Specifically, application of Brookfield viscometers to this end is discussed. A wide selection of toothpastes and lotions were tested. It is shown that a simple method based on apparent shear rate and stress, commonly referred to as a representative viscosity method, works well for moderately non-Newtonian samples but may significantly underestimate viscosity for samples with a more pronounced yield stress behavior. To get more accurate data an integral equation relating torque to angular velocity needs to be solved which can be easily done numerically to get a good agreement between the data collected on an inexpensive viscometer and the data from high-end rheometers.

Yield stress gels are formed when oppositely charged fumed nanoparticle species are dispersed in water. The gels are stable against sedimentation, have tunable rheological properties, and exhibit very little thixotropy.
