Shear stress during self-assembly encodes stiffness of network-based materials
Lens M. Dedroog, Olivier Deschaume, Carmen Bartic +4
The mechanical properties of network-based materials have been extensively studied under qui- escent conditions, yet their self-assembly in nature occurs mainly in a mechanically s…
Extensibility governs the flow-induced alignment of polymers and rod-like colloids
Vincenzo Calabrese, Tatiana Porto Santos, Carlos G. Lopez +3
Polymers and rod-like colloids (PaRC) adopt a favorable orientation under sufficiently strong flows. However, how the flow kinematics affect the alignment of such nanostructures ac…
When bigger is faster: a self-van Hove analysis of the enhanced self-diffusion of non-commensurate guest particles in smectics
M. Paul Lettinga, Laura Alvarez, Olivera Korculanin +1
We investigate the anomalous dynamics in smectic phases of short host rods where, counter-intuitively, long guest rod-shaped particles diffusive faster than the short host ones, du…
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…
Effects of particle stiffness on the extensional rheology of model rod-like nanoparticle suspensions
Christian Lang, Jan Hendricks, Zhenkun Zhang +5
The linear and nonlinear rheological behavior of two rod-like particle suspensions as a function of concentration is studied using small amplitude oscillatory shear, steady shear a…
Fast Diffusion of Long Guest Rods in a Lamellar Phase of Short Host Particles
Laura Alvarez, M. Paul Lettinga, Eric Grelet
We investigate the dynamic behavior of long guest rod-like particles immersed in liquid crystalline phases formed by shorter host rods, tracking both guest and host particles by fl…
