Recent “artifact-free” microstructure information enabled the development of a more credible
model for explaining the ageing time-dependent rheological behavior of NaMt, hectorite and …

This study aims to give new insights to the microstructural development of fresh cement
pastes without and with polycarboxylate-type (PCE) of superplasticizers. Qualitative …

The ageing behaviour of dense suspensions or pastes at rest is almost exclusively attributed
to structural dynamics. Here, we identify another ageing process, contact-controlled ageing …

The complex rheological behaviour of suspensions is very strongly affected by the details of
the microstructure and the interparticle forces by which it is controlled. The difficulties …

Numerical calculations of relative Young's modulus and thermal conductivity have been
performed on computer-generated microstructures of wall-based (closed-cell) and strut …

It is often assumed that the viscoelastic properties of dense colloids are determined by the
colloid volume fraction, the interaction potential, as well as the particle size distribution and …

Cryo‐FIB‐nanotomography is a novel high‐resolution 3D‐microscopy technique, which
opens new possibilities for the quantitative microstructural analysis of complex suspensions …

Purified sodium montmorillonite (SWy-2) gels of a few percent solids displayed pronounced
time-dependent rheological or aging behavior with a long time scale. The aging behavior …

The rheological properties of a particle suspension can be substantially altered by adding a
small amount of a secondary fluid that is immiscible with the bulk phase. The drastic change …

A model for explaining the effect of ionic strength on the yield stress and thixotropic
behaviour of sodium montmorillonite or NaMt (SWy-2) gel was presented. NaMt gels …
