Time-Dependent Viscous Flow Behavior of a Hydrophobic Fumed Silica Suspension

The viscous flow behavior of a 12.5 vol% hydrophobic fumed silica (Aerosil<sup>®</sup> R816) suspension in polypropylene glycol of low molecular weight (PPG400) was studied in a stress-controlled rheometer. The steady flow curve showed shear thickening between two shear thinning regions....
