Shear-induced collapse in a lyotropic lamellar phase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An entropically stabilized cetylpyridinium chloride, hexanol, and heavy brine lyotropic lamellar phase subjected to shear flow has been observed here by small angle neutron scattering to undergo collapse of smectic order above a threshold shear rate. The results are compared with theories predicting that such a lamellar phase sheared above a critical rate should lose its stability by a loss of resistance to compression due to the suppression of membrane fluctuations.

Vorticity banding during the lamellar-to-onion transition in a lyotropic surfactant solution in shear flow.
We report on the rheology of a lyotropic lamellar surfactant solution (SDS/dodecane/pentanol/ water), and identify a discontinuous transition between two shear thinning regimes which correspond to the low-stress lamellar phase and the more viscous shear-induced multilamellar vesicle, or "onion" phase. We study in detail the flow curve, stress as a function of shear rate, during the transition r...
متن کاملOscillating viscosity in a lyotropic lamellar phase under shear flow.
We report some time-dependent behavior of lyotropic lamellar phase under shear flow. At fixed stress, near a layering instability, the system presents an oscillating shear rate. We build up a new stress versus shear rate diagram that includes temporal behavior. This diagram is made of two distinct branches of stationary states which correspond, respectively, to disordered and ordered multilamel...
متن کاملDynamic orientation transition of the lyotropic lamellar phase at high shear rates.
The dynamic orientation behavior of the lamellar phase of a triblock copolymer is studied in a wide range of shear rates as a function of solvent composition. We find that various phases can be induced by increasing the shear rate. At low shear rates, the onion phase forms from planar lamellae with many defects. A further increase of the shear rate caused the onion structure to break down, and ...
متن کاملPreparation of monodisperse multilayer vesicles of controlled size and high encapsulation ratio
The effect of shear on lyotropic lamellar phases is studied by light scattering and microscopic observations. We found that in a certain range of shear rate the lamellar phase organizes itself into spherical multilayer vesicles of well controlled size. The size is shown to vary as the inverse of the square root of the shear rate. A simple explanation in terms of a balance between shear stress a...
متن کاملSupplemental Information for Dynamic orientation transition of lyotropic lamellar phase at high shear rate
Typical SAXS profiles and lamellar spacing d as a function of shear rate for the system with B/H=0.30 at T=25◦C are shown in fig. 1. This systems shows the orientation transition at γ̇c/a=300s −1 (see Fig. 6 in the main text). Lamellar spacing d at B/H=0.30 slightly decreases with increase in the shear rate, while at B/H=0.32 it slightly reduces at low shear rate and stays almost constant at hig...
