Hydrodynamic Stability Criterion for Colloidal Gelation under Gravity
Joost de Graaf, Kim William Torre, Wilson C. K. Poon +1
Attractive colloids diffuse and aggregate to form gels, solid-like particle networks suspended in a fluid. Gravity is known to strongly impact the stability of gels once they are f…
The role of friction in the yielding of adhesive non-Brownian suspensions
J. A. Richards, B. M. Guy, E. Blanco +3
Yielding behavior is well known in attractive colloidal suspensions. Adhesive non-Brownian suspensions, in which the interparticle bonds are due to finite-size contacts, also show…
Granulation and suspension rheology: a unified treatment
Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes, Elena Blanco +1
Mixing a small amount of liquid into a powder can give rise to dry-looking granules; increasing the amount of liquid eventually produces a flowing suspension. We perform experiment…
Bridging the Gap: 3D Real-Space Characterization of Colloidal Assemblies via FIB-SEM Tomography
Jessi E. S. van der Hoeven, Ernest B. van der Wee, D. A. Matthijs de Winter +8
Insight in the structure of nanoparticle assemblies up to a single particle level is key to understand the collective properties of these assemblies, which critically depend on the…
Conching chocolate: A prototypical transition from frictionally jammed solid to flowable suspension with maximal solid content
Elena Blanco, Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes +6
The mixing of a powder of 10-50μm primary particles into a liquid to form a dispersion with the highest possible solid content is a common industrial operation. Building on recent…
Testing the Wyart-Cates model for non-Brownian shear thickening using bidisperse suspensions
Ben M. Guy, Christopher Ness, Michiel Hermes +3
There is a growing consensus that shear thickening of concentrated dispersions is driven by the formation of stress-induced frictional contacts. The Wyart-Cates (WC) model of this…
