Enough introductory information as is necessary will be given on topics which are new to attendees. How to draw rheological graphs and what they mean. The Newtonian liquid Equations for the flow of Newtonian liquids in real situations. Equations for the flow of non-Newtonian liquids . The flow of 'solids'.
Normal forces are where they are important in industrial situations.
The role of hydrodynamic and colloidal factors. The role of polymer morphology. How to adjust the properties of suspending systems. Extensional flow and extensional viscosity Where stretching flows are important. Rheology of real industrial products Rheology and long-term physical stability.
