Unified theoretical and experimental view on transient shear banding
Roberto Benzi, Thibaut Divoux, Catherine Barentin +3
Dense emulsions, colloidal gels, microgels, and foams all display a solid-like behavior at rest characterized by a yield stress, above which the material flows like a liquid. Such…
Rheo-acoustic gels: Tuning mechanical and flow properties of colloidal gels with ultrasonic vibrations
Thomas Gibaud, Noémie Dagès, Pierre Lidon +7
Colloidal gels, where nanoscale particles aggregate into an elastic yet fragile network, are at the heart of materials that combine specific optical, electrical and mechanical prop…
X Radiography of Viscous Resuspension
Brice Saint-Michel, Sébastien Manneville, Steven Meeker +2
We use X-ray imaging to study viscous resuspension. In a Taylor-Couette geometry, we shear an initially settled layer of spherical glass particles immersed in a Newtonian fluid and…
Irreversible hardening of a colloidal gel under shear: the smart response of natural rubber latex gels
Guilherme de Oliveira Reis, Thomas Gibaud, Brice Saint-Michel +6
Natural rubber is obtained by processing natural rubber latex, a liquid colloidal suspension that rapidly gels after exudation from the tree. We prepared such gels by acidification…
