Abstract: The structure of aqueous suspensions of electrostatically interacting submicron polymer spheres is studied as a function of shear. These model colloidal suspensions exhibit a variety of equilibrium and nonequilibrium structures and phase transitions. Both shear induced melting of solid-like structures and shear induced distortion of liquid-like structures are observed. Several models are presented to explain the observed effects. The analogy between these colloidal suspensions and pure fluid systems is discussed.
