Structure, Rheology and Optical Properties of Plasmonic Fluids
… These structures upon further interaction with wormlike micelle fragments are hypothesized to form micelle-nanoparticle elastic networks. In this dissertation, solution phase self-assembly is utilized to uniformly distribute various metallic nanoparticles to produce stable multicomponent …

Non-equilibrium polymeric complex fluids
… investigation into a commercially-relevant wormlike micelle (WLM) system, in conjunction with Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) and traditional bulk rheology. It is shown for the first time that equimolar (eM) SDS:CAPB WLM samples can be considered ‘model’ systems, and form close …

Nuclear magnetic resonance and rheo-NMR investigations of wormlike micelles, rheology modifiers, and ion-conducting polymers
… behavior of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide wormlike micelle solutions, which behave as nematic liquid crystals at sufficiently high concentration. Amphiphilic solutions of this type are used in myriad applications, from fracturing fluids in oil fields to personal care products. We …

Implications of Nanofiber Length and Polydispersity on Flow Alignment
… To quantify nanoscale alignment during flow, a wormlike micelle (WLM) solution was studied using SANS to establish a methodology for future PNF studies. This thesis introduces Rheo-SANS slices, an adaptation combining sector slicing and intensity peak analysis to assess alignment variation …

YIELDING PHENOMENA IN MICROGEL SUSPENSIONS ACROSS LENGTH SCALES
… solutions: Parallel studies were conducted on wormlike micellar solutions, examining nonlinear rheological responses and shear banding phenomena under shear flow using microscopy coupled with rheology. This research, performed in collaboration with Università di Napoli "Federico II," …
