Time-resolved linear and non-linear rheology of thixotropic and aging complex fluids: Application to particulate and biopolymeric physical gels

Temporal changes in microstructure and relaxation dynamics are ubiquitously observed in materials such as hydrogels, food products and drilling fluids. These materials are in general known as mutating materials and the build-up or breakdown of microstructure is commonly both time– and shear-rate (or...
