Tunable shear thickening in suspensions [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016 SignificanceWhen a concentrated suspension is strained, its viscosity can increase radically. This behavior, known as shear thickening, can be very useful to technological applications or highly problematic in industrial processes. Suspension flow properties are typically specified at the formulation stage, meaning that they are fixed in advance rather

Shear Thickening Polishing of Quartz Glass [PDF]
Micromachines, 2021 Quartz glass is a typical optical material. In this research, colloidal silica (SiO2) and colloidal cerium oxide (CeO2) are used as abrasive grains to polish quartz glass in the shear thickening polishing (STP) process.

Discontinuous Shear Thickening in Biological Tissue Rheology [PDF]
Physical Review XDuring embryonic morphogenesis, tissues undergo dramatic deformations in order to form functional organs. Similarly, in adult animals, living cells and tissues are continually subjected to forces and deformations.

A Rheological Model for Evaluating the Behavior of Shear Thickening of Highly Flowable Mortar [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 Neither the modified Bingham model nor the Herschel–Bulkley model can be used to characterize and calculate the performance of shear thickening of highly flowable mortar because of their incalculability of the rheological parameters.

Microstructure of the fluid particles around the rigid body at the shear-thickening state toward understanding of the fluid mechanics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 We studied the shear-thickening behavior of systems containing rigid spherical bodies immersed in smaller particles using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. We generated shear-thickening states through particle mass modulation of the systems.

A Shear Thickening Colloidal Suspension Functioning via Progressive Impact Jamming with Persistent Lubrication Layer [PDF]
Advanced ScienceFrom strong shear thickening (ST) to jamming, conventional shear thickening fluid (STF) systems have been thoroughly explored in the past few decades. A picture from hydrodynamics to lubrication breakdown and interparticle friction has been unveiled and ...

Polishing dental ceramics using shear-thickening slurry [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNowadays, there is a great demand for Zirconia dental ceramics, while the existing low-cost automated polishing methods are quite limited. We propose a novel polishing methodology employing the shear-thickening slurry (STF) comprising starch and SiC ...

Discontinuous shear thickening in concentrated suspensions. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2019 The flow of concentrated suspensions of solid particles can be suddenly blocked by the formation of a percolated network of frictional contacts above a critical value of the applied stress. Suspensions of magnetic particles coated with a superplastifier molecule were shown to produce a strong jamming transition. We find that, for these suspensions with

Revealing the frictional transition in shear-thickening suspensions. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017 Significance The sudden and severe increase in the viscosity of certain suspensions above an onset stress is one of the most spectacular phenomena observed in complex fluids. This shear thickening, which has major implications for industry, is a long-standing puzzle in soft-matter physics.
