In recent years, colloidal processing of advanced ceramics has received an increasing amount of attention in high-tech structural materials for their excellent mechanical properties. Rheological measurements are widely used to identify the nature and behavior of the dispersions, both as a means of studying their fundamental properties and as assessment of their suitability for particular technological purposes. Knowledge of their rheological behavior is essential for almost all dispersion in order to handle them satisfactorily. In this paper, we reviewed comprehensively those parameters which influence the rheological properties and the final assessment of the colloidal dispersion. These parameters allow a wide understanding of colloidal treatment for the process of disspersibility, which is useful way to predict and control a host of product properties, material behavior and end use performance.
