Article Abstract
Processing of electrode slurry, which is highly non-Newtonian fluid, is a critical step in the mass production of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). While extensional flow plays an important role in the electrode slurry processes such as coating, most previous studies have focused only on the shear rheology, due to the lack of a reliable method to measure the extensional rheological properties of the slurry. Here, it is demonstrated that the extensional rheological properties of the anode slurries can be successfully characterized using the stop-flow-dripping-onto-substrate/capillary break-up rheometry (SF-DoS/CaBER). Using this system, it is observed that the extensional rheology of the anode slurry is significantly affected by the blend ratio of the natural and synthetic graphite, as well as the binder and conductive concentrations. Furthermore, the shear rheology-based model predicts much shorter pinch-off times than those measured experimentally, indicating that the yield-stress of the anode slurry is much larger in extensional flow than in shear flow.

Pores scale flows through contractions and expansions are relevant in geoengineering, microfluidics and material processing These flows experience shearing and extensional kinematics near constrictions, where polymer solutions may demonstrate instabilities that arise from the fluid's nonlinear rheological characteristics even in creeping flows. The relative effect of shearing and extension can be controlled by the flow geometry. Following our earlier reports on the constriction length (M.

For the self-healing polymer, the recovery of mechanical properties and self-healing mechanisms are significantly affected by the time and temperature dependences of physical and chemical bonding dynamics, or by a synergistic combination of the two. In this work, the self-healing dynamics of chains consisting of short polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) blocks joined together at their ends through both hydrogen-bond-forming ureido and dynamic imine linkages are systematically investigated by shear and extensional rheology, in situ Fourier transfer infrared spectra (FTIR), and self-healing time of severed samples. Using synthesized polymers with different ratios of ureido and imine linkages and measuring rheology and dynamics of the self-healing process over a range of temperatures, it is shown that the self-healing time is comparable to characteristic relaxation time (the inverse of the cross-over frequency of G' and G″ near the terminal zone).

Blood rheology and microcirculation are strongly influenced by red blood cell (RBC) aggregation. The aggregability of RBCs can vary significantly due to factors such as their mechanical and membrane surface properties, which are affected by cell aging in vivo. In this study, we investigate RBC aggregability as a function of their density, a marker of cell age and mechanical properties, by separating RBCs from healthy donors into different density fractions using Percoll density gradient centrifugation.

Green sustainable solvents have emerged as promising alternatives to petroleum-derived options, such as toluene. This study demonstrates the use of cyrene as an effective exfoliation medium for graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS) particles. The incorporation of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) attenuates the shear-thinning behavior of GNP and hBN suspensions, maintaining a constant shear viscosity over a wide range of shear rates regardless of PVP molecular weight.

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the mechanical degradation of well-entangled polymer melts during uniaxial extensional flow. Simulations measure the transient rise in extensional stresses and relate them to the molecular alignment and scission of chain backbones. Intermolecular entanglements couple chain scission in space and time, making degradation sensitive to deformation history and strain rate in ways not displayed by dilute polymer solutions.
