Shear thickening is the increase of the apparent viscosity as shear rate or shear stress
increases. This phenomenon is pronounced in concentrated (dense) suspensions of both …

Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …

The process by which sheared suspensions go through a dramatic change in viscosity is
known as discontinuous shear thickening. Although well-characterized on the macroscale …

Shear thickening is a widespread phenomenon in suspension flow that, despite sustained
study, is still the subject of much debate. The longstanding view that shear thickening is due …

Shear thickening in dense particulate suspensions was recently proposed to be driven by
the activation of friction above an onset stress needed to overcome repulsive forces between …

Dense suspensions of hard particles in a liquid can exhibit strikingly counter-intuitive
behaviour, such as discontinuous shear thickening (DST),,,,,–and reversible shear jamming …

To assess the role of particle roughness in the rheological phenomena of concentrated
colloidal suspensions, we develop model colloids with varying surface roughness length …

This review aims to illustrate the diversity of measurements that can be made using
magnetic resonance techniques, which have the potential to provide insights into chemical …

We study the rheological behavior of suspensions of noncolloidal spheres in yield stress
fluids (concentrated emulsions). These are good model systems for understanding, eg, the …

We present experimental results on dense corn-starch suspensions as examples of non-
Brownian, nearly hard particles that undergo continuous and discontinuous shear thickening …
