Away from the quasistatic limit, we show that the energy dissipated per unit volume in a single LAOS cycle, which can be visualized by the area enclosed by the Lissajous curve of stress versus strain, is an increasing function of the viscosity of the wetting liquid and is also influenced by the reduced pressure (comparing the cohesive to confining forces) and the frequency. Introducing the inertial number [Formula: see text] and the viscous number [Formula: see text] as previously done, it is shown that the influence of surface tension, viscosity, and driving frequency can be captured by plotting the dissipated energy per unit volume versus the viscous number: a good collapse is obtained. It is shown that an increase in liquid content shifts the whole curve of the dissipated energy upwards, indicating that the overall dissipation mechanism does not change with liquid content, only the energy dissipation related to the internal structure and its breakdown changes.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43308165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding how the mechanical properties of these materials change during these processes is essential as they directly impact cell fate and delivery efficacy. The rheology of hydrogels has been quantified primarily via bulk rheological methods. While such methods are effective, they require large sample volumes and result in the destruction of the sample; therefore, responses to multiple stimuli must be recorded across many different samples. We have developed a magnetic microwire rheometer that can characterize the rheology of small sample volumes while maintaining the integrity of the sample, such that the material response to a range of stimuli can be recorded for a single sample. This capability enables insights into time-dependent rheological changes, such as gelation and degradation, and can be applied to characterize dynamic in situ systems that are the basis for tissue scaffolding, drug delivery vehicles, and other important biological applications.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49257818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surfactant molecule is cetylpiridinium chloride at a fixed concentration (100 mM). Sodium salicylate (NaSal) and diclofenac sodium (Diclo) are used as binding salts at concentrations 68 mM NaSal and 52 mM Diclo such that both systems are fully entangled and their linear viscoelastic response is essentially identical. Both systems show the linear response typical of a wormlike micellar solution, with terminal behavior at low frequencies, a well-defined moduli crossover, and a plateau modulus. In the nonlinear regime, however, the behavior of the two systems is totally different, suggesting that the molecular structure difference of the salts and their binding activity to the surfactant molecule are both crucial to determine the fast flow behavior. The NaSal solution shows a very complex rheological response, with strain hardening and very sharp stress peaks, whereas the solution containing Diclo behaves much like ordinary linear polymers, exhibiting pronounced overshoots as well as moderate undershoots in the transient shear viscosity, before approaching the steady state. This polymerlike behavior has also been proved by successfully comparing data with predictions of a constitutive equation recently adopted for both entangled polymers and linear wormlike micelles. As far as NaSal is concerned, a phenomenological model based on rubber network theory is developed, which describes the flow singularities. A physical interpretation of the different behavior in the nonlinear regime is also suggested.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49372731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we systematically explore and show that the characteristic strain rate of the flow universally determines the orientational ordering of colloidal rods. We employed the fluctuating lattice Boltzmann method by simulating hydrodynamically interacting Brownian rods in a Newtonian liquid moving under various flow types. By modeling a rigid rod as a chain of nonoverlapping solid spheres with constraint forces and torque, we elucidate rigid rod dynamics with an aspect ratio ([Formula: see text]) either 4.1 or 8.1 under various rotational Péclet number ([Formula: see text]) conditions. The dynamics of colloidal rods in dilute ([Formula: see text]) and semidilute suspensions ([Formula: see text]) were simulated for a wide range of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) under shear flows including Couette and Poiseuille flows in a planar channel geometry, and an extensional and mixed-kinematics flow in a periodic four-roll mill geometry, where [Formula: see text] is the number density, and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the diameter and length of the rod, respectively. By evaluating the degree of orientational alignment of rods along the flows, we observed that there is no significant difference between flow types, and the flow-induced ordering of rods depends on the variation of [Formula: see text] up to moderate [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]). At a high [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]), the degree of orientational ordering is prone to diversify depending on the flow type. The spatial inhomogeneity of the strain-rate distribution leads to a substantial decrease in the orientational alignment at high [Formula: see text].","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46988668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present novel measurements of the osmotic pressure, intrinsic viscosity, and long-time self-diffusivity in spherical confinement and find confinement induces strong structural correlations and restrictions on configurational entropy that drive up osmotic pressure and viscosity and drive down self-diffusion. Even in the absence of hydrodynamics, confinement produces distinct short-time and long-time self-diffusion regimes. This finding revises the previous understanding that short-time self-diffusion is a purely hydrodynamic quantity. The entropic short-time self-diffusion is proportional to an entropic mobility, a direct analog to the hydrodynamic mobility. A caging plateau following the short-time regime is stronger and more durable without hydrodynamics, and entropic drift—a gradient in volume fraction—drives particles out of their cages. The distinct long-time regime emerges when an entropic mobility gradient arising from heterogeneous distribution of particle volume drives particles out of local cages. We conclude that entropic mobility gradients produce a distinct long-time dynamical regime in confinement and that hydrodynamic interactions weaken this effect. From a statistical physics perspective, confinement restricts configurational entropy, driving up confined osmotic pressure, viscosity, and (inverse) long-time dynamics as confinement tightens. We support this claim by rescaling the volume fraction as the distance from confinement-dependent maximum packing, which collapses the data for each rheological measure onto a single curve.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44544353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show in our experiments that the steady shear viscosity and first normal stress difference coefficient of the suspension evolve from shear-thickening to substantially shear-thinning as the degree of shear-thinning of the suspending fluid increases. Moreover, in highly shear-thinning fluids, the suspension exhibits greater shear-thinning of the viscosity than the suspending fluid itself. Our dilute body-fitted simulations show that in the absence of hydrodynamic interactions, shear-thinning can arise from the particle-induced fluid stress (PIFS), which ceases to grow with increasing shear rate at low values of [Formula: see text] (solvent viscosity ratio) and finite values of [Formula: see text] (the Giesekus drag coefficient). In a Giesekus suspending fluid, the polymers surrounding the suspended particle are unable to stretch sufficiently at high Weissenberg numbers (Wi) and the reduced polymer stress results in a lower PIFS. When coupled with the shear-thinning stresslet, this effect creates an overall shear-thinning of the viscosity. We then explore the effects of particle-particle interactions on the suspension rheology using immersed boundary simulations. We show that multiparticle simulations are necessary to obtain the shear-thinning behavior of the per-particle viscosity of suspensions in shear-thinning fluids at moderate values of [Formula: see text]. Particle-particle interactions lead to a substantial decrease in the PIFS and an enhancement of the shear-thinning of the stresslet compared to the single particle simulations. This combination leads to the shear-thinning of the per-particle viscosity seen in experiments. We also find that very low values of [Formula: see text] and finite values of [Formula: see text] have opposing effects on the per-particle viscosity that can lead to a nonmonotonic per-particle viscosity versus shear rate in a highly shear-thinning fluid. Overall, the addition of rigid particles to highly shear-thinning fluids, such as joint synovial fluid, leads to increased viscosity and also increased shear-thinning at high shear rates.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47681844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We deduce that the elongational yield stress of a simple yield stress fluid (i.e., with negligible thixotropy effects) can be determined from the mass of the droplet after filament breakage and an estimation of the critical radius at pinch-off at the solid-liquid regime transition. We demonstrate that such a simple characterization is relevant in a relatively wide range of extrusion velocities, i.e., this velocity slightly affects the drop mass in this range. For the simple yield stress fluids used, Carbopol gel, clay-water paste at different concentrations, and emulsion, covering a large range of yield stress values (50–1000 Pa), the elongational yield stress appears to be equal to the simple shear yield stress times a factor equal to about [Formula: see text]. As a consequence, this simple test may be used to obtain, almost instantaneously and without sophisticated apparatus (a syringe and a balance are sufficient), a good estimate of the shear yield stress of simple yield stress fluids. In that case, the main source of uncertainty (up to about 20%) is the value of the critical radius at the solid-liquid transition. Finally, we review the operating conditions (material properties and extrusion characteristics) for which we can expect this approach to be valid.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47379901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pom-pom molecule is the simplest topology to combine shear thinning with strain hardening in elongational flow. A PS pom-pom with a self-entangled backbone (Mw,bb = 280 kg mol−1) and 22 entangled sidearms (Mw,a = 22 kg mol−1) at each star was blended with two linear PS with weight average molecular weights of Mw = 43 and 90 kg mol−1 and low polydispersities (Ð < 1.05). A semilogarithmic relationship between the weight content of the pom-pom, ϕpom-pom, and the zero-shear viscosity was found. Whereas the pure pom-pom has in uniaxial elongational flow at T = 160 °C strain hardening factors (SHFs) of SHF ≈100, similar values can be found in blends with up to ϕpom-pom = 50 wt. % in linear PS43k and PS90k. By blending only 2 wt. % pom-pom with linear PS43k, SHF = 10 can still be observed. Furthermore, above ϕpom-pom = 5–10 wt. %, the uniaxial extensional behavior can be well-described with the MSF model with a single parameter set for each linear PS matrix. The results show that the relationship between shear and elongational melt behavior, i.e., zero-shear viscosity and SHF, can be uncoupled and customized tuned by blending linear and pom-pom shaped polymers and very straightforwardly predicted theoretically. This underlines also the possible application of well-designed branched polymers as additives in recycling.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45454866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in a time-evolving or mutating material, the build-up or breakdown of microstructure is commonly both time- and shear-rate (or shear-stress) dependent, and thixotropic phenomena are observed in many complex fluids including drilling fluids, biopolymer gels, and many food products. Conventional applications of Fourier transforms for analyzing oscillatory data assume the signals are time-translation invariant, which constrains the mutation number of the material to be extremely small. This constraint makes it difficult to accurately study shear-induced microstructural changes in thixotropic and gelling materials, and it is becoming increasingly important to develop more advanced signal processing techniques capable of robustly extracting time-resolved frequency information from oscillatory data. In this work, we explore applications of the Gabor transform (a short-time Fourier transform combined with a Gaussian window), for providing optimal joint time-frequency resolution of a mutating material’s viscoelastic properties. First, we show using simple analytic models and measurements on a bentonite clay that the Gabor transform enables us to accurately measure rapid changes in both the storage and/or loss modulus with time as well as extract a characteristic thixotropic/aging time scale for the material. Second, using the Gabor transform we demonstrate the extraction of useful viscoelastic data from the initial transient response following the inception of oscillatory flow. Finally, we consider extension of the Gabor transform to nonlinear oscillatory deformations using an amplitude-modulated input strain signal, in order to track the evolution of the Fourier–Tschebyshev coefficients of thixotropic fluids at a specified deformation frequency. We refer to the resulting test protocol as Gaborheometry (Gabor-transformed oscillatory shear rheometry). This unconventional, but easily implemented, rheometric approach facilitates both SAOS and LAOS studies of time-evolving materials, reducing the number of required experiments and the data postprocessing time significantly.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48462572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel component rate Lissajous curve, where the rates at which strain is acquired unrecoverably and recoverably are plotted against each other, is introduced and its utility is demonstrated by application to the analytical responses of four simple viscoelastic models. Using the component rate space, yielding and unyielding are identified by changes in the way strain is acquired, from recoverably to unrecoverably and back again. The behaviors are investigated by comparing the experimental results with predictions from the elastic Bingham model that is constructed using the Oldroyd–Prager formalism and the recently proposed continuous model by Kamani, Donley, and Rogers in which yielding is enhanced by rapid acquisition of elastic strain. The physical interpretation gained from the transient large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) data is compared to the results from the analytical sequence of physical processes framework and a novel time-resolved Pipkin space. The component rate figures, therefore, provide an independent test of the interpretations of the sequence of physical processes analysis that can also be applied to other LAOS analysis frameworks. Each of these methods, the component rates, the sequence of physical processes analysis, and the time-resolved Pipkin diagrams, unambigiously identifies the same material physics, showing that yield stress fluids go through a sequence of physical processes that includes elastic deformation, gradual yielding, plastic flow, and gradual unyielding.","PeriodicalId":16991,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43560756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
