Rheology of polymer suspensions based on nanopowders of functional materials. A review

Abstract

The rheology of polymer suspensions based on the nanosized particles of functional materials is the actual task of modern materialscience. Understanding of structuration processes under applied shearing will allow developing a new and improving the industrial technologies of colloidal formation. Present review is about the main structural — mechanical differences between traditional systems based on micron powders and nanostructured systems and reveals the features of physical-chemical interactions nanoparticle—polymer molecule.
