Master curves for FENE-P fluids in steady shear flow by Yamani, Sami, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…An exact solution for the rheological predictions of the FENE-P model in steady simple shear flow is available [Sureshkumar et al., Phys Fluids (1997)], but the resulting nonlinear and nested set of equations do not readily reveal the key shear-thinning physics that dominates at high Wi as a result of the finite extensibility of the polymer chain. …”

Organic solvent-assisted control of hydrogel structures and properties by Zhou, Quan

“…This became possible for the following two reasons: 1) the addition of ethanol makes SA solution exhibit the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in which gelation occurred when the temperature was reduced below the sol-to-gel transition temperature, and 2) the presence of ethanol significantly increased the viscosity of SA solution and enhanced its shear-thinning feature, thus making it ideal for 3D printing. …”

Second order multi-object filtering with target interaction using determinantal point processes by Teoh, Timothy Zhisheng

“…Our approach relies on posterior moment formulas for the estimation of a general hidden point process after a thinning operation and a superposition with a Poisson Point Process (PPP), and on suitable approximation formulas of the determinantal point process hypothesis. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…The reinforcing mechanism was due to the lubrication and pinning effects of rGO, which resulted in high resistance to penetration, elastic recovery capability, low-cycle fatigue resistance, and microcrack propagation inhibition properties. …”

Structural and metamorphic architecture of the Zanskar Himalaya, Suru Valley region, NW India: Implications for the evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core by Cawood, IP, St-Onge, MR, Weller, OM, Searle, MP, Waters, DJ, Ahmad, T

“…D3 fabrics wrap thermal peak porphyroblasts and realign linear mineral phases. Tectonic thinning adjacent to D3 normal faults is documented by reduced structural spacing of isograds and alignment of isograd surfaces parallel to the faults. …”

Process-structure-property optimisation of basalt fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites by Hoo, Ming Shun

“…The results showed that the optimal MFI at 11.60 g/10mins at 260oC. The mechanical properties recorded showed ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 708 ± 26 MPa, flexural strength of 1012 ± 43 MPa and elastic modulus of 33.1 ± 1.8GPa. …”

Smart material based on magnetorheological elastomer and its 3D printing by Bastola, Anil K.

“…The 3D printability of different materials has been studied by measuring their rheological properties and it was found that the highly shear thinning, and thixotropic properties are important for 3D printability. …”
