Phase diagrams of charged colloidal rods: can a uniaxial charge distribution break chiral symmetry?
Tara Drwenski, Simone Dussi, Michiel Hermes +2
We construct phase diagrams for charged rodlike colloids within the second-virial approximation as a function of rod concentration, salt concentration, and colloidal charge. Beside…
Unsteady flow and particle migration in dense, non-Brownian suspensions
Michiel Hermes, Ben M. Guy, Guilhem Poy +3
We present experimental results on dense corn-starch suspensions as examples of non-Brownian, nearly-hard particles that undergo continuous and discontinuous shear thickening (CST…
Hydrodynamic and contact contributions to shear thickening in colloidal suspensions
Neil Y. C. Lin, Ben M. Guy, Michiel Hermes +4
Shear thickening is a widespread phenomenon in suspension flow that, despite sustained study, is still the subject of much debate. The longstanding view that shear thickening is du…
Jamming and the onset of granulation in a model particle system
Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes, Wilson C. K. Poon
Granulation is a ubiquitous process crucial for many products ranging from food and care products to pharmaceuticals. Granulation is the process in which a powder is mixed with a s…
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…
A unified description of the rheology of hard-particle suspensions
B. M. Guy, M. Hermes, W. C. K. Poon
The rheology of suspensions of Brownian, or colloidal, particles (diameter m) differs markedly from that of larger grains ( m). Each of these two…
