How a colloidal paste flows - Scaling behaviors in dispersions of aggregated particles under mechanical stress
We have developed a novel computational scheme that allows direct numerical simulation of the mechanical behavior of sticky granular matter under stress. We present here the general method, with particular emphasis on the particle features at the nanometric scale. It is demonstrated that, although sticky granular material is quite complex and is a good example of a challenging computational pro...
متن کاملNormal-stress coefficients and rod climbing in colloidal dispersions.
We calculate tractable microscopic expressions for the low-shear normal-stress coefficients of colloidal dispersions. Although restricted to the low rate regime, the presented formulas are valid for all volume fractions below the glass transition and for any interaction potential. Numerical results are presented for a system of colloids interacting via a hard-core attractive Yukawa potential, f...
متن کاملNonlinear rheology of colloidal dispersions.
Colloidal dispersions are commonly encountered in everyday life and represent an important class of complex fluid. Of particular significance for many commercial products and industrial processes is the ability to control and manipulate the macroscopic flow response of a dispersion by tuning the microscopic interactions between the constituents. An important step towards attaining this goal is ...
متن کاملShear thickening in colloidal dispersions
known as “oobleck” after the complex fluid in one of Dr. Seuss’s classic children’s books arises from their transition from fluid-like to solid-like behavior when stressed. The viscous liquid that emerges from a roughly 2-to-1 (by volume) combination of starch to water can be poured into one’s hand. When squeezed, the liquid morphs into a doughy paste that can be formed into shapes, only to “me...
متن کاملElectrosteric Stabilization of Colloidal Dispersions
The electrosteric stabilization of model colloidal dispersions is quantified through high-frequency rheometry and complementary techniques. Model aqueous dispersions with a poly(butyl acrylate)polystyrene core and a layer of poly(methacrylic acid) grafted onto the surface are prepared and characterized. The influence of pH, electrolyte concentration, and amount of polymer in the stabilizing lay...
