Microstructural understanding of the length and stiffness dependent shear thinning in semi-dilute colloidal rods
Christian Lang, Joachim Kohlbrecher, Lionel Porcar +4
Complex fluids containing low concentrations of slender colloidal rods can display a high viscosity, while little flow is needed to thin the fluid. This feature makes slender rods…
Evolution of nematic and ferromagnetic ordering in suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets
Alenka Mertelj, Borut Lampret, Darja Lisjak +3
Suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets in isotropic solvents are very interesting examples of ferrofluids. It has been shown that above a certain concentration ΦNI such suspensions…
Crystal-to-crystal transition of ultrasoft colloids under shear
J. Ruiz-Franco, J. Marakis, N. Gnan +5
Ultrasoft colloids typically do not spontaneously crystallize, but rather vitrify, at high concentrations. Combining in-situ rheo-SANS experiments and numerical simulations we show…
The connection between shear thinning and biaxial orientation for quasi-ideal rods
Christian Lang, Joachim Kohlbrecher, Lionel Porcar +1
The complete orientational ordering tensor of quasi-ideal colloidal rods is obtained as a function of shear rate by performing rheo-SANS (rheology with small angle neutron scatteri…
Dynamic Response of Block Copolymer Wormlike Micelles to Shear Flow
B. Lonetti, J. Kohlbrecher, L. Willner +2
The linear and non-linear dynamic response to an oscillatory shear flow of giant wormlike micelles consisting of Pb-Peo block copolymers is studied by means of Fourier transform rh…
