Abstract
Several equations have been proposed that predict the shape of suspended particles when the viscosity of a suspension of known concentration is measured. These are not applicable to suspensions showing thixotropy, owing to the dependence of the measured viscosity on the shear rate used. However, by using viscosity values that have been extrapolated to infinite rate of shear, good agreement has been found between the predicted and measured shapes for particles in thixotropic systems, and the method appears to be suitable for submicroscopic particles. A scheme is also proposed for comparing the degree of thixotropy of different systems.
