In a quiescent medium, chemically active particles propel themselves by emitting or absorbing solutes, creating concentration gradients that induce a slip at the particle surface. This self-propulsion occurs when solute advection overcomes diffusion. However, an imposed flow field can alter these dynamics. This study explores the propulsion characteristics and the related rheological consequences of chemically active particles in an imposed uniaxial extensional flow analytically and numerically. An asymptotic solution is obtained for weak imposed flow relative to self-induced diffusiophoretic slip. Meanwhile, finite element simulations are carried out over a wide range of imposed flow strength and P & eacute;clet number. The results reveal that the interplay between solute advection, imposed flow and diffusiophoretic slip significantly affects particle propulsion and suspension rheology. While solute advection and diffusiophoretic slip tend to create asymmetric solute distributions, promoting self-propulsion, imposed extensional flow promotes symmetric distributions, hindering self-propulsion. This not only delays the start of self-propulsion but also results in an early transition from a propulsion state to a stationary state characterised by an abrupt halt at relatively lower P & eacute;clet number compared to a quiescent medium. Post the abrupt halt, a stirring effect induced by particle activity and imposed extensional flow results in an increased magnitude of stresslet, thus a sudden change in the effective viscosity of the active suspension. The effect of imposed extensional flow on active particle dynamics and suspension rheology can be described succinctly by categorising the overall dynamics into three separate regimes, determined by the P & eacute;clet number and the intensity of the extensional flow.
