Abstract
Recent experimental work on the macroscopic rheological properties of suspensions of rodlike particles in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids is reviewed. Correlations are proposed for the shear viscosity-shear rate relationship for semi-concentrated and concentrated suspensions. In the former case, shear thinning behavior is found with the slope of the power law region depending upon fiber aspect ratio. For the concen trated systems, the data are substantially independent of volume fraction and aspect ratio and show slight shear thinning.Keywords
