      My PhD dissertation investigates the dynamics, phase behaviour, linear and nonlinear rheological response of suspensions of rod-like colloids with repulsive and attractive interactions. I used rheology in combination with various optical techniques including confocal microscopy as primary investigative tools. Micron sized silica rods suspended in various density and refractive index matched solvents were used as the experimental model rod system.

I used rheology in combination with various optical techniques including confocal microscopy as primary investigative tools. Micron sized silica rods suspended in various density and refractive index matched solvents were used as the experimental model rod system. First, I discuss the role of confinement on the nonlinear rheological response of dilute suspension of attractive rods. Next I compared the role of pre-shear history on the viscoelastic tunability of semi-dilute suspensions of attractive silica sphere and rod suspensions. This was followed by investigation of the yielding response of a dense suspension of repulsive silica rods. Finally, I examined the relationship between particle orientation and shear thickening in dense silica rod suspension. Show less
