3D bioprinting techniques have shown great promise in various fields of tissue engineering
and regenerative medicine. Yet, creating a tissue construct that faithfully represents the …

The objective of this review is to elucidate the recent developments in the rheology of
suspensions containing high aspect ratio (> 100) nano-scale fillers. In particular, this review …

In this study, we investigated the way of predicting two critical concentrations of sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions using simple experimental procedures with a …

This article demonstrates the occurrence of a true isotropic/nematic transition in colloidal
Brownian aqueous suspensions of natural nontronite clay. The liquid–crystalline character is …

In this work, the nonlinear rheological properties of kaolinite suspensions as a model fluid
were studied. Three kaolinites with different average particle, aspect ratio and asperity were …

The increase of nano-scaled pores may further improve the thermal insulation properties of
foamed concrete. However, air voids in foamed concrete prepared by pre-fabricated foams …

The deleterious effects of clays on flotation performance are widely acknowledged but the
mechanisms involved are not clearly established. Moreover, the concentrations beyond …

In this study, the effect of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and different molecular weight of poly
(ethylene glycol)(PEG) solutions (PEG200, PEG400, PEG600, PEG1000, PEG3350 and …

Xanthan gum (XG) is an effective soil-binding material for enhancing the geotechnical
engineering performance of soil. Due to the hydrophilicity of XG, however, its ineffectiveness …

Yield stress of aqueous bentonite dispersions was determined at two concentrations, with
two bentonites, over a range of pH values, with the vane technique and by extrapolation of …
