Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a new type of nanosuspension, which are formed by
dispersing micro and nanoparticles in a dispersant. STFs are easily deformed under the …

Shear thickening is a type of non-Newtonian behavior in which the stress required to shear a
fluid increases faster than linearly with shear rate. Many concentrated suspensions of …

Blood viscosity decreases with shear stress, a property essential for an efficient perfusion of
the vascular tree. Shear thinning is intimately related to the dynamics and mutual …

Although liquids typically flow around intruding objects, a counterintuitive phenomenon
occurs in dense suspensions of micrometre-sized particles: they become liquid-like when …

Many densely packed suspensions and colloids exhibit a behavior known as Discontinuous
Shear Thickening in which the shear stress jumps dramatically and reversibly as the shear …

We propose a simple model, supported by contact-dynamics simulations as well as rheology
and friction measurements, that links the transition from continuous to discontinuous shear …

Particles adsorbed to fluid interfaces are ubiquitous in industry, nature or life. The wide
range of properties arising from the assembly of particles at fluid interface has stimulated an …

This chapter explains how the shape of a simple nonconvex particle, au‐particle influences
bulk rheology. It introduces experimental techniques used to characterize granular rheology …

Shear induced alignment of elongated particles is studied experimentally and numerically.
We show that shear alignment of ensembles of macroscopic particles is comparable even …

The rheological properties of macromolecular and colloidal suspensions are dependent on
the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters that define viscous flow, and remain an active …
