Microstructural evolution of electrospun microfibers for biomedical applications by Chandler, A

“…At the fiber level, micro-computed tomography (µCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that stretching caused alignment, thinning, and coalescence of the fibers. At the molecular level, the crystalline microarchitecture within the fibers transformed profoundly after stretching. …”

Upcycling of homogeneous food waste in 3D printing food inks by Lim, Fiona Xin Ying

“…Through 3D food printing, rheological tests, and storage tests, we gained insights into viscosity, shear-thinning behaviour, recovery characteristics, and long-term stability of the inks, assessing their impact on printability. …”

Two sources of uncertainty in estimating tephra volumes from isopachs: perspectives and quantification by Yang, Qingyuan, Jenkins, Susanna F.

“…It occurs because no fitted curves perfectly describe the tephra thinning pattern, and the fitting is done based on log-transformed square root of isopach area. …”

Hydrous melting driven upwelling from the mantle transition zone in the Mongolia plateau revealed by receiver function analysis by He, Jing, Xu, Mijian, Wu, Qingju, Zhang, Fengxue

“…The D410 depth of ∼410 km and the LVL up to ∼60 km thick beneath the Dariganga volcano imply that there is a chemically distinct hydrous upwelling related to the subducted Pacific slab rather than a classic thermal-dominated upwelling. The ∼10 km thinned MTZs are found beneath the western Hangay Dome and the Middle Gobi volcano. …”

Novel single-step hydrophobic modification of polymeric hollow fiber membranes containing imide groups : its potential for membrane contactor application by Zhang, Yuan, Wang, Rong, Zhang, Lizhi, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…Experiments reveal that the modification changed the membrane morphology and structure, resulted in surface pore opening and thinning down of the membrane skin layer. As a compromise between the membrane hydrophobicity and mechanical strength, 10–30 min were considered as appropriate modification times for the PAI membranes. …”

Interface dynamics in electroosmotic flow systems with non-Newtonian fluid frontiers by Chen, Di-Lin, Liu, Shu-Yan, Luo, Kang, Yi, Hong-Liang, Yang, Chun

“…Generalized power-law fluids alter velocity and interfacial charge profiles, with shear thinning enhancing ion transport to lower overlimiting current thresholds and shear thickening broadening the limiting current region (with hindered ion transport). …”

Recovery of Herschel-Bulkley Fluid Parameters from Video via Differentiable Simulations by Eastman, John M.

“…Our approach aims to accurately recover physical parameters and achieve high-fidelity 3D reconstructions from single-view videos of fluids, even those with complex rheological behaviors like shear thinning and thickening. In this study, we apply our method to a Herschel-Bulkley fluid, namely ketchup, under two different real-world conditions: a 50mm column collapse and being squeezed from a bottle. …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…As the melt is pulled from the orifice, extensional flow causes the thinning in the melt diameter and the atmosphere cools the melt down into a fiber before it is collected on the mandrel. …”

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. …”
