Structure formation and rheologics of the aqueous dispersions modificated by TRITON X-100

摘要

The effect of a nonionic surfactant TRITON X-100 on the structure formation and rheological properties of aqueous silica A-175 dispersions was studied. It is show, that the rheological properties were correlated with surfactant adsorption and dispersions stability. It was found, that the surfactant concentration increases, the dynamic viscosity increased initially and then decreased, showing a maximum in region of "half surface coverage".
