How do polymers stretch in capillary-driven extensional flows?
Vincenzo Calabrese, Amy Q. Shen, Simon J. Haward
Measurements of the capillary-driven thinning and breakup of fluid filaments are widely used to extract extensional rheological properties of complex materials. For viscoelastic (e…
Alignment of colloidal rods in crowded environments
Vincenzo Calabrese, Stylianos Varchanis, Simon J. Haward +1
Understanding the hydrodynamic alignment of colloidal rods in polymer solutions is pivotal for manufacturing structurally ordered materials. How polymer crowding influences the flo…
Decoupling the effects of shear and extensional flows on the alignment of colloidal rods
Vincenzo Calabrese, Simon J. Haward, Amy Q. Shen
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) can be considered as model colloidal rods and have practical applications in the formation of soft materials with tailored anisotropy. Here, we employ…
