ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the behavior of a colloidal dispersion of any solid in a liquid, and such colloidal dispersion forms a layer between two coaxial cylindrical surfaces, we can observe a number of analogies with the Benard’s cells. The interdependent qualitative and quantitative changes in complex dissipative systems should be accompanied by cyclic jump-like variations or oscillations, resulting in structural self-organization of the matter. Particularities of the hydration processes of self-organization at early stages of hardening of an alkaline silicate composition were studied using a DAK-1–1A calorimeter. The rheological method is of great importance for investigation of particularities of the self-organization processes, running during hydrolysis at the early stages of hardening of the alkaline alumosilicate compositions. Oscillations in a chemical system can be caused by autocatalysis or process inhibition by the products of reaction, self-acceleration of the process on account of exothermal reactions and polarization effects in electrical processes.
