Rheology of dilute and semidilute suspensions of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes
The viscosity, g, of dilute aqueous suspensions of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes is discussed. The spherical polyelectrolyte brushes consist of a solid polystyrene core of 100-nm diameter onto which linear poly(acrylic acid) chains are grafted. The relative viscosity, g/gS (gS is the viscosity of the solvent) of these suspensions is studied as a function of shear rate in the presence of dif...
متن کاملA Kinetic Model for Semidilute Bacterial Suspensions
Suspensions of self-propelled microscopic particles, such as swimming bacteria, exhibit collective motion leading to remarkable experimentally-observable macroscopic properties. Rigorous mathematical analysis of this emergent behavior can provide significant insight into the mechanisms behind these experimental observations; however, there are many theoretical questions remaining unanswered. In...
متن کاملFluctuations and rheology in active bacterial suspensions.
We probe nonequilibrium properties of an active bacterial bath through measurements of correlations of passive tracer particles and the response function of a driven, optically trapped tracer. These measurements demonstrate violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and enable us to extract the power spectrum of the active stress fluctuations. In some cases, we observe 1/sqrt[omega] scali...
متن کاملExtensional rheology of active suspensions.
A simple model is presented for the effective extensional rheology of a dilute suspension of active particles, such as self-propelled microswimmers, extending previous classical studies on suspensions of passive rodlike particles. Neglecting particle-particle hydrodynamic interactions, we characterize the configuration of the suspension by an orientation distribution, which satisfies a Fokker-P...
متن کاملThe rheology of fibre suspensions
We review theoretical work on the rheology of fibre suspensions. We seek to clarify one or two confusions in published work and also give a small improvement to Batchelor’s formula for extensional viscosity of suspensions of long fibres between the dilute and semi-dilute régimes.
