Universal mechanism of shear thinning in supercooled liquids
Abstract Soft glassy materials experience a significant reduction in viscosity η when subjected to shear flow, known as shear thinning. This phenomenon is characterized by a power-law scaling of η with the shear rate $$\dot{\gamma }$$ γ ° , $$\eta \propto {\dot{\gamma }}^{-\nu }$$ η ∝ γ ° − ν , wher...
