      Breakup of a capillary bridge of suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Bazilevskii, A. V.; Entov, V. M.; Rozhkov, A. N.; Sharaf, A. (2010)
      The breakup of liquid bridges under the action of capillary forces is used for studying the rheology of suspensions under stretching. The experiments were performed with suspensions of finegrained (3-30 μm) sand in glycerin ...

      Heterogeneity in nanocomposite hydrogels from poly(ethylene oxide) cross-linked with silicate nanoparticles 

      Schexnailder, P.; Loizou, Elena; Porcar, L.; Butler, P.; Schmidt, G. (2009)
      We investigate the influence of ionic strength on the structural heterogeneity and viscoelastic properties of nanocomposite hydrogels. We use small-angle scattering and rheology to monitor structural changes as a function ...
