A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

Many soft materials yield under mechanical loading, but how this transition from solid-like
behavior to liquid-like behavior occurs can vary significantly. Understanding the physics of …

Granular hydrogels have been increasingly exploited in biomedical applications, including
wound healing and cardiac repair. Despite their utility, design guidelines for engineering …

Physical networks typically employ enthalpy-dominated crosslinking interactions that
become more dynamic at elevated temperatures, leading to network softening. Moreover …

Hypothesis We hypothesise that interaction strength between oil droplets determine the
rheological properties of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions by simultaneous formation and break …

In the present work alginate-based nanofibrous membranes embedding zinc oxide
nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were prepared via electrospinning technique. ZnO-NPs were …

There is an ongoing discussion in the literature about the flow behavior of the widely used
model yield-stress fluid Carbopol. Some papers show that it is indeed the simple model yield …

Molecular interactions determine the microstructure of food, as well as its response to
deformation and flow. In order to design efficient processing equipment, to produce high …

We use numerical simulations and an athermal quasistatic shear protocol to investigate the
yielding of a model colloidal gel. Under increasing deformation, the elastic regime is …

A complete set of model-independent viscoelastic functions for understanding responses to
transient nonlinear rheological tests is presented, using large-amplitude oscillatory shear …
