Nanoparticle assembly is a complex and versatile method of generating new materials,
capable of using thousands of different combinations of particle size, shape, composition …

The microstructural link to the rheology of carbon black suspensions has recently become
clear as a result of advances in computational and experimental methods. This …

Liquid-liquid-solid systems are becoming increasingly common in everyday life with many
possible applications. Here, we focus on a special case of such liquid-liquid-solid systems …

Colloidal gels exhibit rich rheological responses under flowing conditions. A clear
understanding of the coupling between the kinetics of the formation/rupture of colloidal …

We report a detailed experimental study of peculiar thixotropic dynamics of carbon black
(CB, Vulcan XC-72) suspensions in mineral oil, specifically the observation of sequential …

Hypothesis: A number of dense particle suspensions experience a dramatic increase in
viscosity with the shear stress, up to a solid-like response. This shear-thickening process is …

Shear thinning is fundamental to a broad range of particle suspensions, both in nature and
in industrial applications. Yet the mechanisms governing it remain unclear. In particular, the …

The rheological manifestation of intra-cycle microstructural change of a model colloidal gel
under oscillatory shearing is studied with Brownian dynamics simulation and a fully …

We report an experimental study of the shear-induced migration of flexible fibers in
suspensions confined between two parallel plates. Non-Brownian fiber suspensions are …

Hypothesis In spite of the abundant literature on Brownian simulations of the aggregation
behavior of colloidal suspensions both under quiescent conditions and in the presence of …
