A Smoluchowski equation for a sheared suspension of frictionally interacting rods
Genevieve Quiñones, Peter D. Olmsted
In this work we develop constitutive equations for a dense, sheared suspension of frictionally interacting rods by applying Onsager's variational method as formulated by Doi. We tr…
The roles of elasticity and dimension in liquid-gel phase separation
Shichen Wang, Peter D. Olmsted
We compare six elastic models for polymer networks in the context of phase separation within a gel, including a new model that combines the finite extensible Arruda-Boyce model and…
Thermodynamics of microphase separation in a swollen, strain-stiffening polymer network
Carla Fernández-Rico, Robert W. Style, Stefanie Heyden +3
Elastic MicroPhase Separation (EMPS) provides a simple route to create soft materials with homogeneous microstructures by leveraging the supersaturation of crosslinked polymer netw…
Elastic turbulence in highly entangled polymers and wormlike micelles
Theo A. Lewy, Suzanne M. Fielding, Peter D. Olmsted +1
We show theoretically that an initially homogeneous planar Couette flow of a concentrated polymeric fluid is linearly unstable to the growth of two-dimensional (2D) perturbations,…
