In this review, I present an idiosyncratic view of the current state of shear banding in complex fluids. Particular attention is paid to some of the outstanding issues and questions facing the …
Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of …
Giant micelles are elongated, polymer-like objects created by the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules (such as detergents) in solution. Giant micelles are typically flexible …

This tutorial review deals with one of the most remarkable forms of surfactant aggregates, described as having a flexible, elongated cylindrical shape. Three structural scale lengths …
The aim of this article is to discuss the concepts of non-local rheology and fluidity, recently introduced to describe dense granular flows. We review and compare various approaches …

Injectable hydrogels show substantial promise for use in minimally invasive tissue engineering and drug delivery procedures. A new injectable hydrogel material, developed …
Wormlike micelles are elongated and semi-flexible aggregates resulting from the self- assembly of surfactant molecules in aqueous solutions. In the general context of complex …
In this review, we report recent developments on the shear-induced transitions and instabilities found in surfactant wormlike micelles. The survey focuses on the nonlinear …
Recent experimental techniques used to investigate shear banding are reviewed. After recalling the rheological signature of shear-banded flows, we summarize the various tools …
