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…
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…
Hydrodynamics strongly affect the dynamics of colloidal gelation but not gel structure
Joost de Graaf, Wilson C. K. Poon, Magnus J. Haughey +1
Colloidal particles with strong, short-ranged attractions can form a gel. We simulate this process without and with hydrodynamic interactions (HI), using the lattice-Boltzmann meth…
Creep and flow of glasses: strain response linked to the spatial distribution of dynamical heterogeneities
T. Sentjabrskaja, P. Chaudhuri, M. Hermes +4
Mechanical properties are of central importance to materials sciences, in particular if they depend on external stimuli. Here we investigate the rheological response of amorphous s…
