Numerical analysis of capillarity-driven thinning rheometry for polydisperse polymer solutions
Isaac Pincus, Vincenzo Calabrese, Simon J. Haward +1
Liquid bridges of polymer solutions that are self-thinning due to the action of capillarity undergo a transition from Newtonian-like linear thinning to exponential elastocapillary…
Flow-history-dependent orientational relaxation in dilute polydisperse colloidal rod suspensions
Yuto Yokoyama, Vincenzo Calabrese, Fabian Hillebrand +3
Orientation and relaxation dynamics of rod-like colloids under flow govern the optical and mechanical properties of many emerging soft materials. In polydisperse suspensions, parti…
Colloidal rod dynamics under large amplitude oscillatory extensional flow
Steffen M. Recktenwald, Vincenzo Calabrese, Amy Q. Shen +2
We perform a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the orientational dynamics of rod-like colloidal particles in dilute suspension as they are subjected to a time-…
Capillary-driven thinning of DNA solutions
Vincenzo Calabrese, Silvia Nardone, Amy Q. Shen +1
Capillary thinning of polymeric fluids is central to biological and industrial processes, yet the mechanisms governing thinning dynamics remain unresolved, especially for semi-flex…
