Abstract: HYPOTHESIS Shear-banding of branched wormlike solutions is a topic of active investigation which has not been fully elucidated. Here, we surmise that flow-induced microstructuring in the shear banding regime is associated with spatial concentration gradients.… read more here.

Abstract: We investigate the flow evolution of a linear and a branched wormlike micellar solution with matched rheology in a Taylor-Couette (TC) cell using a combination of particle-tracking velocimetry, birefringence, and turbidity measurements. Both solutions exhibit… read more here.
