Mechanistic Investigation of Microdroplet Formation in High-Viscosity Shear-Thinning Hydrogel Bioinks [PDF]
GelsHigh-resolution biofabrication requires precise microscale deposition, yet drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet bioprinting is constrained by a narrow printable viscosity window.

Particle settling in a shear-thinning, viscoelastic fluid in the presence of wall effects [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe settling of particles in fluids is a widespread phenomenon and commonly involves accounting for the effects of walls. Particle settling and wall effects are well understood for Newtonian fluids but the consequences of non-Newtonian fluid properties ...

Shear-Thinning Nanocomposite Hydrogels for the Treatment of Hemorrhage [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2014 Internal hemorrhaging is a leading cause of death after traumatic injury on the battlefield. Although several surgical approaches such as the use of fibrin glue and tissue adhesive have been commercialized to achieve hemostasis, these approaches are difficult to employ on the battlefield and cannot be used for incompressible wounds.

Shear thinning in dilute polymer solutions
Journal of Chemical Physics, 2006 We use bead-spring models for a polymer coupled to a solvent described by multiparticle collision dynamics to investigate shear thinning effects in dilute polymer solutions. First, we consider the polymer motion and configuration in a shear flow. For flexible polymer models we find a sharp increase in the polymer radius of gyration and the fluctuations

The Rheology behavior of Aramid and Cellulose Nanowhisker Suspensions [PDF]
Journal of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 2022 The flow responses of aramid and cellulose nanowhisker (fibrids) or CNCs (cellulose nanocrystal) suspended in a sulfuric acid and water respect at loadings of about 17% weight fraction was determined in transient shear flow. The effect of temperature and

Numerical simulations of blood cell flow in non-Newtonian fluid [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020 We investigated how non-Newtonian viscosity behavior affects the flow characteristics of blood cells. Our findings offer insight about how shear thinning affects the dispersion of liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin and red blood cells in blood. The lattice

On the shear-thinning of alkanes
Tribology Letters, 2023 Abstract The approximate power-law dependence ofthe apparent viscosity of liquids on shear rate is of-ten argued to arise from a distribution of energy barri-ers. However, recent work on the Prandtl model, whichconsists of a point mass being dragged by a damped,harmonic spring past a sinusoidal potential, revealed asimilar dependence of the ...

Analysis of the Shear-Thinning Viscosity Behavior of the Johnson–Segalman Viscoelastic Fluids
Fluids, 2022 This paper presents a numerical comparison of viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid flow using a generalized Oldroyd-B model and Johnson–Segalman model under various settings. Results for the standard shear-thinning generalization of Oldroyd-B model are used
