Abstract
The effects of electric charge interation and particle correlations on suspension rheology are examined. A one-component fluid analysis using a Smoluchowski equation for the equilibrium structure is applied to charged suspensions of spherical colloids under shear. The frequency dependent modulus and viscosity, predicted as functions of particle and added salt concentrations, are compared with published rheological measurements on model suspensions. Recent improvements in the statistical mechanical theories for the equilibrium microstructure, its nonequilibrium deformation, and the bulk shear stresses are included. The direct electrostatic interaction is found to drive the divergence in the shear viscosity near the liquid-solid phase transition. Extensions of the theory predict the elastic modulus of binary mixtures of charged colloids. Estimates of the primary electroviscous effect, hydrodynamic interactions, and errors in the Yukawa limiting form for the potential and applications of asymptotic theories are presented. Predictions for the rheology based on effective hard-sphere models are found to be reasonable when using a parameter fit from the equilibrium phase behavior. Mean-field mode coupling theories predict larger relaxation times than calculated from the Smoluchowski equation (=SE). A study of binary mixing effects on elasticity shows non-ideal behavior. It is noted that equilibrium structural information can be used to resolve discrepancies between the theoretical predictions and the measured rheology.
