Abstract

An expression relating dichroism to the non-equilibrium structure was derived through Rayleigh-Gans light scattering theory. Comparison of this expression to a micromechanical expression for the thermodynamic contribution to the total stress demonstrates a stress-optical relationship. Optical dichroism and viscosity measurements on monodisperse, near hard-sphere suspensions as a function of shear rate, volume fraction, and particle size demonstrated the relationship experimentally. This work provides a rheo-optical method for determining the various contributions of the colloidal forces to the overall stress.
