A new modified form of the Palierne model is proposed to describe the linear viscoelastic behavior of concentrated emulsions and suspensions. The proposed model takes into consideration the crowding effect and packing limit of particles. The model is verified using two sets of experimental data on the storage and loss moduli of emulsions and suspensions. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2008. © 2008 Society of Plastics Engineers
