Shear driven vorticity aligned flocs in a suspension of attractive rigid rods

A combination of rheology, optical microscopy and computer simulations was used to investigate the microstructural changes of a semi-dilute suspension of attractive rigid rods in an imposed shear flow. The aim is to understand the relation of the microstructure with the viscoelastic response, and th...
