Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a new type of nanosuspension, which are formed by
dispersing micro and nanoparticles in a dispersant. STFs are easily deformed under the …

Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

The development of artificial spider silk with properties similar to native silk has been a
challenging task in materials science. In this study, we use a microfluidic device to create …

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a unique type of fluids that can quickly transform into a
solid-like state when subjected to forces (rate dependent). These fluids are created by …

A thorough and critical review on Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) is presented based on a
literature survey. The rheological properties of STFs are discussed considering many factors …

The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid raise the viscosity and also generally give rise to a
shear-rate dependent rheology. In particular, pronounced shear thickening may be …

Shear thickening is a type of non-Newtonian behavior in which the stress required to shear a
fluid increases faster than linearly with shear rate. Many concentrated suspensions of …

A consensus is emerging that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in dense suspensions
marks a transition from a flow state where particles remain well separated by lubrication …

Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …
