Micro- and macro-shear viscosity in dispersed lamellar phases

The effect of macromolecular crowding on mobility of biomolecules, association kinetics, and gene expression in living cells

“…Unhindered diffusion for inert probes in wide range of sizes r p indicated that water channel in the nucleus are larger than 30 nm. Similar behavior is observed in lamellar phases of ionic surfactant with water channels >150 nm [43]. Probably water channels are most filled with proteins at the volume fractions φ = 0.1-0.2 (suggested by 2-8 fold decrease of the mobility for most proteins).…”

“…In lamellar phases of ionic surfactants similar lack of size dependence of viscosity is observed (up to sizes >150 nm) [43]. More experimental studies with larger probes are required to give clear answer about transport properties of proteins in the cell nucleus.…”

Dynamic behaviour of multilamellar vesicles under Poiseuille flow

“…Interestingly, an internal microstructure made by dispersed L domains has been reported at a concentration even lower than 5%. 52 In the flow curve of Figure 2a, it is also interesting to notice the presence of two different shear-thinning in the range of shear rates investigated. The transition between the two slopes is coincident with the threshold value of approximately 1 s -1 whereupon the up and down curves overlap.…”

A thermodynamic model of nanofluid viscosity based on a generalized Maxwell-type constitutive equation

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]) have been published on the subject. Viscosity depends essentially on the temperature, the nature of the particles and the fluid, the volume fraction of particles and their size.…”
