This paper reports recent experimental findings and rheological modeling on chemically
treated single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) suspended within an epoxy resin. When a …

Nematic liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have anomalously high vibration dam**, and it
has been assumed that this is the cause of their anomalously high-pressure-sensitive …

The rheological behavior of anode slurries for lithium-ion batteries, containing both natural
and synthetic graphite as active material, was investigated with a focus on the different …

We present a combined simulation and experimental study of the structure and dynamics of
dilute, semidilute, and concentrated graphene oxide aqueous alkaline dispersions. These …

Colloids of nanometric size dispersed in a nematic environment are simulated using a
hybrid algorithm that combines rules from Multi-particle Collision Dynamics and Molecular …

We carry out a detailed deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of local nematic
ordering in polydomain nematic elastomers. This system has a close analogy to the random …

We report the first experimental studies on the temperature dependence of viscoelastic
properties of a room temperature discotic nematic liquid crystal. The splay elastic constant is …

Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we study the rheology of a model
hybrid mixture of liquid crystals (LCs) and dipolar soft spheres (DSS) representing magnetic …

Working on a state space determined by considering a discrete system of rigid rods, we use
nonequilibrium statistical mechanics to derive macroscopic balance laws for liquid crystals …

Orientational ordering in polydomain nematic and isotropic elastomers with identical
polysiloxane backbone and different deuterium-labeled side groups is studied by D-NMR. In …
