The Connection between Biaxial Orientation and Shear Thinning for Quasi-Ideal Rods

The Connection between Biaxial Orientation and Shear Thinning for Quasi-Ideal Rods

The complete orientational ordering tensor of quasi-ideal colloidal rods is obtained as a function of shear rate by performing rheo-SANS (rheology with small angle neutron scattering) measurements on isotropic fd-virus suspensions in the two relevant scattering planes, the flow-gradient (1-2) and th...
