This collection of contributions provides a series of modern pieces of research related to rheology. The selected studies demonstrate how theoretical concepts developed in rheology yield practically important outcomes, how a combination of known substances can form a novel material with wonderful properties, and how neglecting a single parameter during an experiment can ruin the research entirely. The authors of this book examine the exciting and diverse field of modern rheology. It is a book recommended for professional rheologists, teaching instructors in rheology and material science, and to those who are interested in modern trends and developments in science.

Reviews

“This book is a practical and timely account of selected subjects on modern rheology written by several experts in the field. It covers an impressive variety of different rheological systems from purely natural products (dairy products, cress seed gum, and waxy crude oil) to synthetic systems (polymer gels) including several non-conventional systems such as polysaccharide dispersions in ionic liquids and particle-laden systems. Methodological value of this volume is in presenting several excellent examples of deep interrelation between “purely theoretical” models and practically important systems and in stressing the importance of correct experimental design. Moreover, most of chapters lead to generalizations well beyond their particular topics and thus contribute to modern knowledge on colloidal stability of various systems, gels, and gelation process to name just a few. Analogously, this book will be definitely interesting to not only professional rheologists involved in study particular systems but to a much broader audience including, but not limited to, students as well as teachers in rheology and material science, and related fields.” – Pavel S. Chelushkin, Ph.D, Institute of Macromolecular Compounds, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia


Audience: It is a book recommended for professional rheologists, teaching instructors in rheology and material science, and to those who are interested in modern trends and developments in science.
Maybe people working in the field of food science and cosmetics can be interested, besides the professional rheologists community.
