Rheology deals with the deformation and flow of matter, especially the non-Newtonian flow of liquids and the plastic flow of solids. Our rheological data is useful in the following examples of fluid systems.
| suspensions | gels | solutions |
|---|---|---|
| slurries | polymers | solvents |
| emulsions | wax gels | industrial liquors |
| colloids | greases | oils |
| creams | carbohydrate gels | protein solutions |
| pastes | proteins | paints |
The rheology of these systems generally determine product characteristics and influence industrial processing.
