Abstract

A method of monitoring the deflocculation of particles in a suspension, which particles, when deflocculated, are such that they can become aligned in an applied field, by applying a beam of radiation to a region of the suspension, applying a field to the region and detecting a change, if any, in forward radiation scattering properties of the region due to the aligning of deflocculated particles, if any, of the suspension in the field.
