Cooking crystalline candies and the ductile to brittle transition in concentrated suspensions
Andreia F. Silva, James A. Richards, Fiona Jeffrey +4
The existence and origin of the ductile to brittle transition in non-Brownian suspensions and pastes is underexplored despite the ubiquity of such materials in practical applicatio…
Optimising non-Newtonian fluids for impact protection of laminates
James A. Richards, Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Rory E. O'Neill +2
Non-Newtonian fluids can be used for the protection of flexible laminates. Understanding the coupling between the flow of the protecting fluid and the deformation of the protected…
Anomalous Scaling for Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Conformal Surfaces
James A. Richards, Patrick B. Warren, Daniel J. M. Hodgson +2
The hydrodynamic regime of the Stribeck curve giving the friction coefficient as a function of the dimensionless relative sliding speed (the Sommerfeld number, ) of two cont…
Rheological design of thickened alcohol-based hand rubs
Andreia F Silva, Tiffany A Wood, Daniel J M Hodgson +4
The handleability and sensory perception of hand sanitisers by consumers affect the hygiene outcome. Spillage may result in under-dosing and poor sensory properties can lead to und…
Soft matter science and the COVID-19 pandemic
Wilson C K Poon, Aidan T Brown, Susana O. L. Direito +9
Much of the science underpinning the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic lies in the soft matter domain. Coronaviruses are composite particles with a core of nucleic acids com…
Granulation and suspension rheology: a unified treatment
Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes, Elena Blanco +1
Mixing a small amount of liquid into a powder can give rise to dry-looking granules; increasing the amount of liquid eventually produces a flowing suspension. We perform experiment…
Conching chocolate: A prototypical transition from frictionally jammed solid to flowable suspension with maximal solid content
Elena Blanco, Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes +6
The mixing of a powder of 10-50μm primary particles into a liquid to form a dispersion with the highest possible solid content is a common industrial operation. Building on recent…
A constraint-based approach to granular dispersion rheology
B. M. Guy, J. A. Richards, D. J. M. Hodgson +2
We present a phenomenological model for granular suspension rheology in which particle interactions enter as constraints to relative particle motion. By considering constraints tha…
Jamming and the onset of granulation in a model particle system
Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes, Wilson C. K. Poon
Granulation is a ubiquitous process crucial for many products ranging from food and care products to pharmaceuticals. Granulation is the process in which a powder is mixed with a s…
