Patient-friendly medical diagnostics and treatments have been receiving a great deal of
interest due to their rapid and cost-effective health care applications with minimized risk of …

Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

Current available shear-thickening fluid (STFs) may suffer from issues such as unsatisfactory
energy dissipation performance and unstable dynamic stability for practical engineering …

Biomaterials capable of transmitting signals over longer distances than those in rigid
electronics can open new opportunities for humanity by mimicking the way tissues …

Suspensions are composed of mixtures of particles and fluid and are omnipresent in natural
phenomena and in industrial processes. The present paper addresses the rheology of …

A thorough and critical review on Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) is presented based on a
literature survey. The rheological properties of STFs are discussed considering many factors …

This paper reviews current knowledge about the rheology and applications of highly
concentrated molten polymers, focusing on hard particles with sizes ranging from several …

Granular materials consist of macroscopic grains, interacting via contact forces, and
unaffected by thermal fluctuations. They are one of a class systems that undergo jamming, ie …

Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid raise the viscosity and also generally give rise to a
shear-rate dependent rheology. In particular, pronounced shear thickening may be …

Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …
