摘要
The shear thinning behavior of fume silica suspension was investigated by a coaxial cylinder rheometer. The microstructure of fume silica particles and the phenomenon of particles aggregation were analyzed by transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope as well. The shear thinning behavior of fume silica suspension was studied via the decomposition process of agglomerated particles. The agglomeration process follows the Southerland ghost model, and the structure of agglomerated particles is loosen. The loosen structure of agglomerated particles affects the shear thinning behavior of fume silica suspension. The shear thinning behavior of fume silica suspension is correlated to the decomposition process of the aggregates, which follows the Casson model. This process is divided into three stages, i.e., 1) three-dimensional network of suspension is destroyed in the initial stage, resulting in the sharp decrease of the viscosity, and the the particle clusters appear; 2) in the second stage, the clusters break into the particles in the suspension; and 3) the particles fail to further break down in the third stage, leading to a high-speed flow carrying off the water in the particles and a decrease of the viscosity.
