1."The Rheology Handbook" by Thomas G Mezger
“The Rheology Handbook” Book Review: This book explains the practical principles of rheology, which is the study of how materials flow and deform. It covers the rheology of additives in water-based mixtures and systems that use surfactants. The paragraph discusses the basic theory behind the methods used in rheology and provides examples of how it can be applied. This information can be useful for running tests with tools that measure the flow and deformation of materials, such as rotational and oscillatory rheometers.

2."Fluid Mechanics of Viscoelasticity: General Principles, Constitutive Modelling, Analytical and Numerical Techniques (Rheology Series)" by R R Huilgol and N Phan-Thien
“Fluid Mechanics of Viscoelasticity: General Principles, Constitutive Modelling, Analytical and Numerical Techniques (Rheology Series)” Book Review: This book is a detailed guide on a subject that covers some major discoveries. It’s written for both beginners and experts. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is about general principles and has two chapters. They talk about how things move and the laws of mechanics that explain why. They also talk about something called the stress tensor and how it relates to what they’re studying. Chapters three and four are also in this part, and they’re about how to make equations that explain what’s happening in different materials. The second part is called Analytical and Numerical Techniques, and it’s the main part of the book. It talks about how fluids behave and how they can be measured. There are also some sections on new ideas and things to think about. These sections talk about fractal curves and surfaces and how they relate to the stress tensor.

3."Rheology of Fluid, Semisolid, and Solid Foods (Food Engineering Series)" by M Anandha Rao
“Rheology of Fluid, Semisolid, and Solid Foods (Food Engineering Series)” Book Review: This is an updated version of the book that talks about tiny things in milk and how they are measured. The book also discusses a mixture similar to milk and how it is studied. It explains how thick things are by looking at individual particles and groups of particles. There is also a section that explains how to use a tool called “Diffusive Wave Spectroscopy” to learn more about mixtures. The book explains how a tool called a “Bostwick consistometer” can be used to measure how thick or thin things are, and how this relates to different properties of the mixture. The book also talks about how adding calcium to milk protein can change its shape and how it works. Finally, the book talks about using special tools to understand how the texture of food affects how it tastes.

4."Colloidal Suspension Rheology (Cambridge Series in Chemical Engineering)" by Jan Mewis and Norman J Wagner
“Colloidal Suspension Rheology (Cambridge Series in Chemical Engineering)” Book Review: This is the first book that covers all aspects of colloidal rheology, and it is an introductory book. It has very few complicated math problems. The book starts by discussing the effects of water on particles. It talks about the movement of particles and the forces between them. Later on, the book discusses problems like thixotropy and shear thickening. This book also includes questions and solutions, as well as updates and links to additional resources.

5."Melt Rheology and its Applications in the Plastics Industry (Engineering Materials and Processes)" by John M Dealy and Jian Wang
“Melt Rheology and its Applications in the Plastics Industry (Engineering Materials and Processes)” Book Review: This is a new edition of the book, and it contains more information on the subject. This book has all the information needed to use rheology in developing new polymers. It describes how to determine the structure of molecules, as well as how to correlate test data with processability. There are some theories and equations, but they are limited. The book also discusses how to develop new plastic materials and predict their processing behavior. This book is mainly for polymer scientists and plastic engineers, but postgraduate students can also use it.
