Effect of temperature on the rheological properties of neat aqueous Wyoming sodium bentonite dispersions by Vryzas, Zisis

“…The results of a very systematic study are presented regarding rheological measurements of 7% mass concentration at different temperatures, ranging between 25 and 80 °C at atmospheric pressure. Higher temperature increased the shear stresses at low shear rates while the effect was much smaller at higher shear rates. …”
