Effects of shear-induced crystallization on the complex viscosity of lamellar-structured concentrated surfactant solutions

Abstract

Material relationships at low temperatures were determined for concentrated surfactant solutions using a combination of rheological experiments, cross-polarized microscopy, calorimetry, and small angle X-ray scattering. A lamellar structured 70 wt.%...

Facilitating polymorphic crystallization of HMX through ultrasound and trace additive assistance

“…Various external fields have been proved to successfully promote solute diffusion and nucleation in crystallization of highly viscosity systems, such as ultrasonic irradiation [29] , [30] , [31] , shear [32] , [33] , [34] , magnetic field [35] , [36] , laser [37] and so on. Among these, ultrasonic irradiation as a simple and effective method has been used by CAEP to address the above issue.…”
