Even in simple geometries, many complex fluids display nontrivial flow fields, with regions
where shear is concentrated. The possibility for such shear banding has been known for …

Stimuli responsive viscosity modifiers entail an important class of materials which allow for
smart material formation utilizing various stimuli for switching such as pH, temperature, light …

The design and effective application of supramolecular transient polymer networks based on
the assembly of entangled polymer building blocks requires not only precise description of …

Abstract Hypothesis Wormlike micelles (WLMs) formed due to the self-assembly of
amphiphiles in aqueous solution have similar viscoelastic properties as polymers. Owing to …

We combine mechanical rheometry, diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS), and small angle
neutron scattering (SANS) with a simulation model, the “pointer algorithm”, to obtain …

We combine molecular dynamics simulations and topological analyses (TA) to validate and
refine a recently proposed unified analytic model [Hoy, RS; Kröger, M. Phys. Rev. Lett …

We link micellar structures to their rheological properties for two surfactant body-wash
formulations at various concentrations of salts and perfume raw materials (PRMs) using …

Microstructural properties of wormlike micelles (WLMs), which are employed in
characterizing the system to predict rheological properties, have long been obtained via …

Wormlike micellar solutions possess complex rheology: when exposed to a flow field, the
wormlike micelles may orientate, stretch, and break into smaller micelles. Entangled …

We study the morphology, energetics, and kinetics of a self-associating model cationic
surfactant in water using large-scale coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations over …
