In recent years, new models have been developed for suspension rheology and as a result applications for nanocomposites have increased.
The authors tackle issues within experimental, model and numerical simulations of the behavior of particle suspensions. Applications of non-spherical particle suspension rheology are widespread and can be found in organic matrix composites, nanocomposites, biocomposites, fiber-filled fresh concrete flow, blood and biologic fluids.
- Understand how to model and predict the final microstructure and properties of particle suspensions
- Explores nano, micro, meso and macro scales
- Rheology, thermomechanical and electromagnetic physics are discussed
Students of materials science, chemical engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine; Scientists in polymer, plastics, pharmaceutical, construction, coatings industries and medicine
