This contribution is to add to the timely celebration of Professor RB Bird's outstanding career
and accomplishments. Following introductory remarks on material/fluid types, the paper …

When in equilibrium, thermal forces agitate molecules, which then diffuse, collide and bind
to form materials. However, the space of accessible structures in which micron-scale …

The gelation of walnut protein isolates has not been extensively studied, mainly due to their
inherent poor dispersity. This study investigated the gelation of alkaline-extracted walnut …

The linear elasticity of dilute colloidal gels formed from discoidal latex particles is quantified
as a function of aspect ratio and modeled by confocal microscopy characterization of their …

Hypothesis Particle-laden fluid interfaces are the central component of many natural and
engineering systems. Understanding the mechanical properties and improving the stability …

Using computer simulation and analytical theory, we study an active analog of the well-
known Tonks gas, where active Brownian particles are confined to a periodic one …

We study quasi-2D gels made of a colloidal network doped with Janus particles activated by
light. Following the gel formation, we monitor both the structure and dynamics before, during …

Measuring the surface tension of yield stress fluids has remained a critical challenge due to
limitations of the traditional tensiometry techniques. Here, we overcome those limits and …

Mechanical properties of disordered materials are governed by their underlying free energy
landscape. In contrast to external fields, embedding a small fraction of active particles within …

The heteropolysaccharide of welan gum has been widely utilized as a rheological modifier
in various industrial fields due to its high viscosity and robust tolerance towards shear …
