Imprinting Macroscopic Fracture during Gelation: A Mechanism for Tuning Colloidal Gels
Wilbert J. Smit, Thomas Gibaud, Sébastien Manneville +1
Colloidal gels form through the sol-gel transition of attractive particle suspensions, where local aggregation leads to a space-spanning network with solid-like properties. Their m…

Anti-thixotropic dynamics in attractive colloidal dispersions: a shear restructuring driven by elastic stresses
Julien Bauland, Gauthier Legrand, Sébastien Manneville +3
Due to rich rheological properties, dispersions of attractive colloidal particles are ubiquitous in industries. Specifically, upon experiencing a sudden reduction in shear rate, th…
