A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

Yield stress fluids are encountered in a wide range of applications: toothpastes, cements,
mortars, foams, muds, mayonnaise, etc. The fundamental character of these fluids is that …

Texture and mouthfeel arising from the consumption of food and beverages are critical to
consumer choice and acceptability. While the food structure design rules for many existing …

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is a colloidal rigid rod, referred to by various terms in the
literature including cellulose whisker (CW) and cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). These charged …

High solid dispersions are soft materials made of colloidal or non-colloidal particles
dispersed at high volume fractions in a liquid matrix. They include hard sphere glasses …

The review presents current research results for Carbopol-based microgels as yield-stress
materials, covering three aspects: chemical, physical and rheological. Such a joint three …

The rich diversity of man-made complex fluids and naturally occurring biofluids is opening
up new opportunities for investigating their flow behavior and characterizing their …

Mucus is characterized by multiple levels of assembly at different length scales which result
in a unique set of rheological (flow) and mechanical properties. These physical properties …

Extracellular DNA, or eDNA, is recognised as a critical biofilm component; however, it is not
understood how it forms networked matrix structures. Here, we isolate eDNA from static …

Aqueous lubrication is currently at the forefront of tribological research due to the desire to
learn and potentially mimic how nature lubricates biotribological contacts. We focus here on …
