This paper presents both experimental and theoretical aspects of the rheological properties and gelling behavior of boehmite suspensions over a range of pH, temperature and concentration. Boehmite sol–gel behaved as a non-Newtonian shear thinning fluid with the increase in consistency index k at low...
