Many complex fluids, such as surfactant mesophases, network forming polymers, emulsions etc. do not flow until the applied stress crosses a certain critical value, called the yield stress. Materials ...

Fluid materials are classified broadly as simple and structured fluids. Simple fluids are materials consisting of a homogenous phase such as a pure substance or a solution. Materials consisting of ...

Sustainable circular economy requires materials that possess a property profile comparable to synthetic polymers and, additionally, processing and sourcing of raw materials that have a small ...

What if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid, melt, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to ...
