The interaction between suspensions and emulsions (suspoemulsions) was investigated using rheological and sediment volume measurements. Practical suspensions and emulsions of agrochemicals were initially used to study the nature of the interaction. In this case, heteroflocculation between the suspension par,ticles and emulsion was observed and this could be significantly reduced using a strongly "anchored" dispersant for the solid particles. Model suspoemulsions of polystyrene latex (which either contained adsorbed block copolymers or contained graf ted poly(ethylene oxide) and hydrocarbon oil emulsions were then investigated using viscoelastic measurement. With suspoemulsions containing adsorbed block copolymers, interaction between the particles and drop lets occurred and this resulted in an increase in the relaxation time of the system. When using latex dispersions with graf ted PEO chains, no specific interaction could be detected, i.e. the latex-latex, emulsion-emulsion and latex-emulsion interactions are of the same type. However, the viscoelastic properties of the suspensions, emulsions and their mixtures revealed interesting behaviour that could be related to the deformability of the emulsion droplets.
