It was found that BINDZIL20/440 series showed shear-thickening at lower shear rates and had a lower upper limit in PEO concentration to demonstrate shear-thickening phenomena. The particle shape was identified as the major factor accounting for these differences. This work enables one to control the rheological behavior of colloid-polymer mixture through simply changing particle geometry instead of performing surface modifications, which could be especially useful in cases where only certain chemicals are allowed, for example in vivo applications.展开更多

The representative carbon foam has dual mesopore sizes of 4 and 10 nm, and possesses the specific surface area of 580 m^2/g and the total pore volume of 0.80 cm^3/g.展开更多
