A bstract The flow properties of suspensions containing monodisperse particles of muscovite, kaolinite, halloysite, and orthoclase were measured at various concentrations to determine the influence of particle shape. It was found that the particle shape had a considerable effect in dispersed suspensions, the more isometric particles yielding the lower viscosity. Particle shape made no difference in flocced suspensions.
