Construction with cementitious materials via 3D printing requires a highly thixotropic behavior, which is challenge for construction industry. In this work facile and low-cost gelatin-modified thermal responsive smart cement paste formulation was developed extrusion-based in cold environments The paste's temperature-dependent rheological properties were characterised, the underlying mechanism e...

Improved retention of transplanted stem cells is achieved through minimally invasive delivery in MITCH, a mixing-induced two-component hydrogel that was engineered to possess shear-thinning and self-healing thixotropic properties. MITCH, an ideal injectable cell-delivery vehicle, supports 3D stem-cell culture, resulting in high cell viability and physiologically relevant cell morphology.

Compared with conventional two-part alkali-activated materials (AAMs), one-part AAMs have several advantages, especially the simple production using only water similar to ordinary Portland cement. However, are much less researched, in terms of rheology. Understanding rheological behavior such binders is a crucial step for their production, placement, and application construction industry. This ...

The thixotropic-like properties of saline/glycerol drops, containing biotinylated capture antibodies, on streptavidin-coated glass slides have been investigated, along with their implications for bacterial detection in a fluorescent microarray immunoassay. The thixotropic-like nature of 60:40 saline-glycerol semisolid droplets (with differing amounts of antibodies) was observed when bacteria we...
