Decoupling elasticity and electrical conductivity of carbon black gels filled with insulating non-Brownian grains
Thomas Larsen, John R. Royer, Fraser H. J. Laidlaw +4
A unique bistable transition has been identified in granular/colloidal gel-composites, resulting from shear-induced phase separation of the gel phase into dense blobs. In energy ap…
Fresh Cement as a Frictional Non-Brownian Suspension
James A. Richards, Hao Li, Rory E. O'Neill +2
Cement is an essential construction material due to its ability to flow before later setting, however the rheological properties must be tightly controlled. Despite this, much unde…
Controlling the rheo-electric properties of graphite/carbon black suspensions by 'flow-switching'
Thomas Larsen, John R. Royer, Fraser H. J. Laidlaw +4
The ability to manipulate rheological and electrical properties of colloidal carbon black gels makes them attractive in composites for energy applications such as batteries and fue…
Competing Time Scales Lead to Oscillations in Shear-Thickening Suspensions
J. A. Richards, J. R. Royer, B. Liebchen +2
Competing time scales generate novelty. Here, we show that a coupling between the time scales imposed by instrument inertia and the formation of inter-particle frictional contacts…
