Abstract

The use of the high frequency elastic modulus, G∞, to probe particle interactions in weakly agglomerated, concentrated suspensions is discussed. We show that a model based on pair interaction potentials and a statistical description of pair spatial distribution yields accurate prediction of the volume fraction dependence of G∞. The use of statistical treatments of particle distributions as predicted from particle interaction potentials is found to provide insight on how surface chemistry affects the uniformity of powder compacts.
