Effect of flow reversal on the shear induced formation of multilamellar vesicles
(2004) In The Journal of Physical Chemistry Part B 108(20). p.6328-6335- Abstract
- The influence of rate controlled flow reversal on the transition from planar lamellae to multilamellar vesicles (MLV) using a nonionic lamellar phase consisting of 40 wt % triethylene glycol monodecyl ether (C10E3 in D2O) is investigated by means of time-resolved rheo-small-angle light and neutron scattering (SALS, SANS). Flow reversal provides the possibility to control the kinetics of the transition substantially, and states occurring very early during the transition can be studied. A slowing down of the transition on an absolute strain axis is observed as the strain amplitude of the flow reversal is decreased. This retardation is attributed to the partial recovery of an earlier state as shear is inverted. This can nicely be demonstrated... (More)
