The microstructural link to the rheology of carbon black suspensions has recently become
clear as a result of advances in computational and experimental methods. This …

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 …

Shear history plays an important role in determining the linear and nonlinear rheological
response of colloidal gels and can be used for tuning their structure and flow properties …

We introduced a novel concept on energy harvesting nanofluids of hybrid piezoelectric
ceramic and polymeric (BaTiO 3 and PVdF) materials in PDMS. Rheology, rheo-microscope …

A fast and spectrally accurate Ewald summation method for the evaluation of stokeslet,
stresslet and rotlet potentials of three-dimensional Stokes flow is presented. This work …

Natural fine-grained suspensions usually exhibit a complex rheological fingerprint–in
particular a two-step yielding phenomenon–due to the presence of mineral clay particles …

Hypothesis Carbon black particles act as electronically conductive additives in the slurry
electrodes used in electrochemical redox flow batteries. Modifying the carbon black slurry …
