Narrative: The influence of surface chemistry on the growth of                  colloidal particles and on the behavior of model suspensions will be            investigated.  Recent advances made in the laboratory of the                    principal investigator in understanding the effects of particle                 interaction potentials on the morphology of precipitates will be                extended to conducting polymer materials.  In this work, the                    mechanisms of formation of analine and pyrole polymer particles will            be investigated to establish methods of synthesizing model                      conducting polymer colloids.  The resulting particles will be used              in fundamental studies of the electrical, optical and suspension                behavior of this unique set of materials.  A second line of approach            to understanding the influence of particle surface properties on                suspension behavior will be to unravel the effects of interaction               potential and suspension structure on the rheology of flocculated               materials.  By working with model electrorheological fluids which               flocculate reversibly in the presence of an electric field,                     reproducible suspension structures can be obtained and the                      degredation of this structure by shear carefully studied.
