Although there is a close relation between the deformation of solid materials and the flow of fluid materials, there are several rheological aspects that deserve separate attention. In this chapter we first indicate where rheology is of importance and thereafter discuss a few of these aspects, starting with a recapitulation of the basics of rheology. Thereafter we deal with the influence of particles, thickeners, and curing on the flow behavior.
As during application coatings are for a large part fluid, it may be useful to point out the influence of the rheological behavior for coatings in general. This relates to transport, application methods, film formation, and final appearance. Let ...
