Effect of Shear History on Rheology of Time-Dependent Colloidal Silica Gels

This paper presents a rheological study describing the effects of shear on the flow curves of colloidal gels prepared with different concentrations of fumed silica (4%, 5%, 6%, and 7%) and a hydrophobic solvent (Hydrocarbon fuel, JP-8). Viscosity measurements as a function of time were carried out a...
