The influence of continuous shear, shear history and relaxation on the rheological behavior of SiO2/glycerine suspensions
Appl. Rheol. 25:4 (2015) 44806 (9 pages)

Suspensions of SiO2 microspheres in glycerine exhibit drastic shear-thickening behavior under steady shear and dynamic
oscillatory shear test. The rheological behavior of suspensions agrees with the modified Cox-Merz rules as the dynamic oscillatory
rheological behavior at low frequency could be reasonably interpreted in terms of the steady shear behavior. As new
insight, the effect of shear history and the relaxation on the rheological behavior was investigated in detail. The result
showed that under continuous shear, the viscosity decreases after a 'pulse': The degree of decrease is directly proportional
to the shear rate. Similar phenomenon is also found under the continuous stress and dynamic oscillatory shear rate sweep.
The shear history shows a non-negligent effect on the rheological behavior, the suspensions with higher viscosity show a
lower viscosity under the same shear rate. Moreover, the relaxation time of suspensions shows the direct dependency on the
initial viscosity, while the volume fraction of suspensions also affect the relaxation time. For more enlapsed times, also longer
relaxation times are needed for the suspensions with lower volume fraction and higher initial viscosity.
