Contact Thermal Resistance In article number 2214071, Kai Wu, Qiang Fu, and co-workers report a joint-inspired interfacial engineering strategy by employing liquid metal to the surface of rigid alumina, which improves material's thermal conductivity thixotropy. This method will inspire development high-performance polymer-based interface materials for future advanced electronics.

An asphalt mastic has thixotropic characteristics that significantly influence its fatigue and healing performance. Therefore, understanding the thixotropy of an is clearly great importance. However, research in this area still early stages. This study focuses on self-heating as one biasing performances material by analyzing viscosity, stress, hysteresis loops mastics under cyclic shear loading...

In this work, a stable NiFe2O4 paraffin based ferrofluid was prepared via high energy milling. The rheological properties of ferrofluid were studied. Bingham plastic, HerschelBulkley and Casson models were used to evaluate the shear stress-shear rate dependency. The ferrofluid exhibited a shear thinning behaviour for all studied magnetic field. The magneto-viscous effect and thixotropy of...

• "While the viscosity of blood lias been studied extensively (Copley, Stainsby, and Bayliss-), only a few studies have involved the use of a rotational viscometer. These included Brundage, Wells and Merril, and Wells et al.,-~ the latter applying a Brookfield cone plate viscometer. Neither study was carried out at rates of shear below 10 seer. The present author considered that the region belo...

Despite the wide-spread use and importance of thixotropic materials, accurate theoretical descriptions are still limited to a handful model transient flow conditions. We employ an iterative series tests experimentally probe complex dynamics exhibited by materials. cessation identify elastic stresses during stress jump tests. It is shown that evolution closely follows total in tests, indicating ...
