Abstract
Concentrated emulsions and foams and microgels are comprised of deformable particles making these materials display complex rheological behavior that includes a yielding transition from an elastic solid to viscous fluid. Most studies of this class of soft matter involve shear flows and only a few report both shear and normal stresses. Here, we report measurements of the shear stress and two normal stress differences for a Carbobol microgel, which is usually classified as simple yield stress fluid, subjected to constant shear rate flows. Similar to our previous study, the shear stress evolves through the yield point in a manner indicative of simple yield stress fluid behavior while the normal stress differences evolve in a reproducibly chaotic manner. We also find that the evolution of the stresses is dependent on the whether the microgel has been in a state of relaxation or recovery prior to the measurement.
期刊介绍:
"Rheologica Acta is the official journal of The European Society of Rheology. The aim of the journal is to advance the science of rheology, by publishing high quality peer reviewed articles, invited reviews and peer reviewed short communications.
The Scope of Rheologica Acta includes:
- Advances in rheometrical and rheo-physical techniques, rheo-optics, microrheology
- Rheology of soft matter systems, including polymer melts and solutions, colloidal dispersions, cement, ceramics, glasses, gels, emulsions, surfactant systems, liquid crystals, biomaterials and food.
- Rheology of Solids, chemo-rheology
- Electro and magnetorheology
- Theory of rheology
- Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, complex fluids in microfluidic devices and flow instabilities
- Interfacial rheology
Rheologica Acta aims to publish papers which represent a substantial advance in the field, mere data reports or incremental work will not be considered. Priority will be given to papers that are methodological in nature and are beneficial to a wide range of material classes. It should also be noted that the list of topics given above is meant to be representative, not exhaustive. The editors welcome feedback on the journal and suggestions for reviews and comments."
