Is the active suspension in a complex viscoelastic fluid more chaotic or more ordered?
Yuan Zhou, Qingzhi Zou, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +2
The habitat of microorganisms is typically complex and viscoelastic. A natural question arises: Do polymers in a suspension of active swimmers enhance chaotic motion or promote ori…

Protocol to evaluate the viscoelastic response of a polymer suspension to an active agent via oscillatory shear rheometry
Kai Qi, Qingzhi Zou, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Microorganisms inhabit viscoelastic environments, where their locomotion can deform polymers and trigger local complex viscoelastic responses. However, a systematic approach to qua…
