Abstract

This review is dedicated to the topic of longitudinal rheology, a branch of rheology that is complementary to traditional shear rheology, and yet not as widely explored. Longitudinal rheology differs from typical shear rheology by the type of stress applied. Longitudinal stress is a wave, which causes liquid expansion and compression that occurs when ultrasound propagates through such liquid. The penetration depth of a longitudinal stress is much longer than for a shear stress, which allows this method to be used for studying liquid bulk properties at the MHz range. The concept of longitudinal rheology has been known for centuries, but only became available in commercial instruments as recently as the 1990s. We describe here the main principles of this technique, as well as present an overview of existing published applications, which include:

—Bulk viscosity

—Microviscosity

—Hookean coefficient of inter-particle bonds

—Newtonian liquid test at MHz range

—Compressibility

—Sol-gel transition

—Micellar systems

—Dissolution of polymers

—Liquid mixtures

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I want to take this opportunity for expressing my gratitude to Colloid Journal for its role in my scientific carrier. My first paper was published here in 1977 with couple dozen more following during next 15 years. These publications by Colloid Journal were quite instrumental in promoting my studies not only within USSR scientific community but internationally as well. Colloid Journal was translated into English even then. It was such delight to see this English version of my favorite journal in McGill University library in early 90th with signs of often use. I am very glad that publication of my contribution to this issue restores those old ties. I wish all the best to Colloid Journal Editorial board, all staff, and contributors.
