High Field MicroMRI Velocimetric Measurement of Quantitative Local Flow Curves

Combining rheology and NMR/MRI methods is very useful! Check out the results of our collaboration with the Biophysics dept here.

High Field MicroMRI Velocimetric Measurement of Quantitative Local Flow Curves

MRI is a great tool to measure the flow behavior of all kinds of complex fluids. Tatiana Nikolaeva, Frank J. Vergeldt, Raquel Serial, Joshua A. Dijksman, Paul Venema, Adrian Voda, John van Duynhoven, Henk Van As — Analytical Chemistry 92, 4193–4200 (2020) 10.1021/acs.analchem.9b03216

Editorial: Non-local Modeling and Diverging Lengthscales in Structured Fluids

We wrote a little editorial on the relevance of non-local modeling in all kinds of structured fluids, such as polymeric systems, emulsions and granular media. Abram H. Clark, Joshua A. Dijksman — Frontiers in Physics 8 (2020) 10.3389/fphy.2020.00018

Visiting friend

Thanks Hu Zheng for visiting. It’s always a pleasure to host you.

Visiting SACMI, Imola

Thanks Riccardo Cenni for showing me around the site. Wonderful museum!

Bruker Tribolab

Welcome new workhorse for the group of Elke Scholten. I’m sure we want to borrow it every now and then!

Uncovering friction dynamics using hydrogel particles as soft ball bearings

Soft “third bodies” produce their own particular “Stribeck” curve, as we found out. Raisa E. D. Rudge, Jesse P. M. van de Sande, Joshua A. Dijksman, Elke Scholten — Soft Matter (2020) 10.1039/d0sm00080a

Natural and induced surface roughness determine frictional regimes in hydrogel pairs

Visiting Pamplona

Visiting Raul Cruz was very pleasant. Thanks also to Tivadar for the hospitality and to Martin Pastor for a tour through Meler!

Transparent experiments: releasing data from mechanical tests on three dimensional hydrogel sphere packings

Granular material science often produces huge data sets that can be mined for years. Here we provide some of these data sets as open repositories, for everyone to use. Jonathan Barés, Nicolas Brodu, Hu Zheng, Joshua A. Dijksman — Granular Matter 22 (2019) 10.1007/s10035-019-0985-4
