The strategy using water as a medium for dynamic modulation of competitive plasticity and
viscoelasticity provides a unique perspective to attain adaptive materials. We reveal …

We use time-resolved mechanical spectroscopy to offer a detailed picture of the gelation
dynamics of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspensions following shear cessation in the …

Soft gels, formed via the self-assembly of particulate materials, exhibit intricate multiscale
structures that provide them with flexibility and resilience when subjected to external …

Developing constitutive models that can describe a complex fluid's response to an applied
stimulus has been one of the critical pursuits of rheologists. The complexity of the models …

We investigate the spatial correlations of microscopic stresses in soft particulate gels using
2D and 3D numerical simulations. We use a recently developed theoretical framework …

“Sticky” spheres with a short-ranged attraction are a basic model of a wide range of

An improved population balance‐based rheological constitutive framework for polydisperse
aggregating suspensions is derived by incorporating detailed models for orthokinetic and …

Glasses and gels, common amorphous solids with diverse applications, share intriguing
similarities, including rigidity without translational order and dynamic slowing during ageing …

Colloidal gels undergo a phenomenon known as physical aging, ie, a continuous change of
their physical properties with time. To date, most of the research effort on aging in gels has …
