摘要
A microrheological model of aggregating dispersions is proposed in which the shear stress is estimated as the sum of hydrodynamic and structural parts. The former is attributed to the hydrodynamic cores of fractal aggregates, which behave as a suspension of impermeable spheres. The latter accounts for the forces transmitted by chains of particles linking neighboring aggregates into a transient network. To calculate the structural part the concept of fractal aggregation is incorporated into a transient network theory, to account for the creation and breakup of chains of colloidal particles connecting the aggregates. Rigid and soft chains are distinguished. The former have multiply connected backbones which deform as contorted elastic rods, while the latter have at least one soft junction and deform without elastic resistance until fully loaded. The contribution of the soft chains to the stress tensor is neglected. The calculations treat two different mechanisms for the evolution of rigid chains: a purely mechanical one, which corresponds to a shear-controlled structure built up in flow, and a thermal mechanism, which pertains to a quasiequilibrium structure undisturbed by shear. We calculate steady-shear viscosities in the former case and viscoelastic functions in the latter. The model can be fitted satisfactorily to the experimental results for a well-characterized polystyrene latex dispersion with physically acceptable parameters. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
