Meeting the demand for an up-to-date book connecting dispersions to rheology, this practical title helps chemists and chemical engineers save time and money by successfully formulating and optimizing their dispersed systems.

A dispersion is a system of unmixable phases in which one phase is continuous and at least one is finely distributed. Examples are found in many industrial applications, including emulsions, suspensions, foams, and geld. The control of their flow characteristics - rheology - is essential in their preparation, long-term physical stability and application.
Filling the need for a practical, up-to-date book connecting the stability/instability of the dispersion to its rheological behavior, this title aids in understanding the principles of rheology and the techniques that can be applied.

From the contents:
General Introduction
Interparticle Interactions and Their Combination

"In summary, the book "Rheology of Dispersions" by Tharwat Tadros can be highly recommended for practically oriented researchers working in the field of dispersions." (Materials Views, 16 January 2012)
