A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

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 …

Research on soft materials, including colloidal suspensions, glasses, pastes, emulsions,
foams, polymer networks, liquid crystals, granular materials, and cells, has captured the …

Nanoengineered hydrogels offer the potential to design shear-thinning bioinks for three-
dimensional (3D) bioprinting. Here, we have synthesized colloidal bioinks composed of disk …

High solid dispersions are soft materials made of colloidal or non-colloidal particles
dispersed at high volume fractions in a liquid matrix. They include hard sphere glasses …

Large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) is used as a tool to probe the nonlinear
rheological response of a model elasto-viscoplastic material (a Carbopol microgel). In …

Guided by a series of discriminating rheometric tests, we develop a new constitutive model
that can quantitatively predict the key rheological features of waxy crude oils. We first …

We report a large set of experimental data which demonstrates that a simple yield stress
fluid, ie, which does not present aging or thixotropy, exhibits transient shear banding before …

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the freeform fabrication of complex structures from
various build materials. The objective of this study is to develop a novel Laponite nanoclay …

The nonlinear rheology of a soft glassy material is captured by its constitutive relation, shear
stress versus shear rate, which is most generally obtained by sweeping up or down the …
