| has gloss | eng: Complex fluids are binary mixtures that have a coexistence between two phases: solid-liquid (suspensions), solid-gas (granular), liquid-gas (foams) and liquid-liquid (emulsions). They exhibit unusual mechanical responses to applied stress or strain due to the geometrical constraints that the phase coexistence imposes. The mechanical response includes transitions between solid-like and fluid-like behavior as well as fluctuations. Their mechanical properties can be attributed to characteristics such as high disorder, caging, and clustering on multiple length scales. |
