Guide to Rheological Nomenclature: Measurement in Ceramic Particulate Systems

Published

Author(s)

Vincent A. Hackley, Chiara F. Ferraris

Abstract

This document provides definitions of terms and expressions relating to the measurement of rheological properties in liquid-based ceramic particulate systems (i.e., suspensions, pastes, and gels). The definitions are largely generic and should be compatible with non-ceramic applications and fields.
