Attractive colloidal dispersions: flow, gelation, yielding and sensitivity to high power ultrasound
The rheological behavior of colloidal dispersions is of paramount importance in a wide range of applications, including construction materials, energy storage systems and food industry products. Here we explore how dispersions of attractive colloids, namely carbon black particles (CB) in oil [1], flow, gel and yield and how those properties are affected by high power ultrasound. In this study, we adopt a synergistic approach, combining rheology to measure the mechanical properties of the dispersions, ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) to probe the structure of dispersion, ultrasonic velocimetry to access the local flow profiles and impedance to characterize the dispersion conductivity (connectivity).
