Residual stresses and shear-induced overaging in boehmite gels
@article{Sudreau2022ResidualSA, title={Residual stresses and shear-induced overaging in boehmite gels}, author={Iana Sudreau and Mathilde Auxois and Marion Servel and {\'E}ric L{\'e}colier and S{\'e}bastien Manneville and Thibaut Divoux}, journal={Physical Review Materials}, year={2022} }
Colloidal gels respond as soft solids at rest, whereas they flow as liquids under external shear. Starting from a fluidized state under an applied shear rate ˙ γ p , abrupt flow cessation triggers a liquid-to-solid transition during which the stress relaxes towards a so-called residual stress σ res that tallies a macroscopic signature of previous shear history. Here, we report on the liquid-to-solid transition in gels of boehmite, an aluminum oxide, that shows a remarkable nonmonotonic stress…

Thixotropy, anti-thixotropy, and viscoelasticity are three types of time-dependent dynamics that involve fundamentally different underlying physical processes. Yet distinguishing them can be very…
Three length scales colloidal gels: the clusters of clusters versus the interpenetrating clusters approach

Typically, in quiescent conditions, attractive colloids at low volume fractions form fractal gels structured into two length scales: the colloidal and the fractal cluster scales. However when flow…

Shear-induced memory effects in boehmite gels
- BiologyJournal of Rheology
- 2022
The impact of shear history on acid-induced gels of boehmite, an aluminum oxide, is investigated and it is shown that following a primary gelation, these gels display a dual response depending on the shear rate used to rejuvenate their microstructure, above which they display a gel-like viscoelastic spectrum upon flow cessation, similar to that obtained following thePrimary gelation.

Hydrodynamics control shear-induced pattern formation in attractive suspensions
- EngineeringProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

This work uses experiments and complementary simulations to build a universal stability criterion, demonstrating that hydrodynamic interactions alone drive this process of pattern formation independent of particle size, shape, and chemical composition, and allows for application of shear-induced structuring as a tool for assembling and patterning suspensions of attractive particles.

The archetypal feature of a viscoplastic fluid is its yield stress: If the material is not sufficiently stressed, it behaves like a solid, but once the yield stress is exceeded, the material flows…
