Towards a unified description of the rheology of hard-particle suspensions
The rheology of suspensions of Brownian, or colloidal, particles (diameter~$d \lesssim 1~\mu$m) differs markedly from that of larger grains ($d \gtrsim 50~\mu$m). Each of these two regimes has been separately studied, but ... -
Escherichia coli as a model active colloid: A practical introduction
The flagellated bacterium Escherichia coli is increasingly used experimentally as a self-propelled swimmer. To obtain meaningful, quantitative results that are comparable between different laboratories, reproducible protocols ... -
Particle-size effects in the formation of bicontinuous Pickering emulsions
We demonstrate that the formation of bicontinuous emulsions stabilized by interfacial particles (bijels) is more robust when nanoparticles rather than microparticles are used. Emulsification via spinodal demixing in the ... -
Swimming In a Crystal
We study catalytic Janus particles and Escherichia coli bacteria swimming in a two-dimensional colloidal crystal. The Janus particles orbit individual colloids and hop between colloids stochastically, with a hopping rate ... -
Gravitational collapse of depletion-induced colloidal gels
We study the ageing and ultimate gravitational collapse of colloidal gels in which the interparticle attraction is induced by non-adsorbing polymers via the depletion effect. The gels are formed through arrested spinodal ... -
Simplicity in complexity – towards a soft matter physics of caramel
Caramel is a mixture of sugars, milk proteins, fat and water cooked at high temperatures to initiate Maillard reactions. We study caramels as ‘active emulsion-filled protein gels’, in which fat droplets are chemically-bonded ... -
Shear thickening regimes of dense non-Brownian suspensions
The images are the raw figures used to produce the plots in the paper entitled: “Shear thickening regimes of dense non-Brownian suspensions” with DOI:10.1039/C5SM02326B published in the Journal “Soft Matter” by the Royal ... -
Hydrodynamic and Contact Contributions to Continuous Shear Thickening in Colloidal Suspensions
Shear thickening is a widespread phenomenon in suspension flow that, despite sustained study, is still the subject of much debate. The longstanding view that shear thickening is due to hydrodynamic clusters has been ... -
Two-scale evolution during shear reversal in dense suspensions
Matlab data files used to plot the figures in a paper titled "Two-scale evolution during shear reversal in dense suspensions". -
Quantitative morphological characterization of bicontinuous Pickering emulsions via interfacial curvatures
Bicontinuous Pickering emulsions (bijels) are a physically interesting class of soft materials with many potential applications including catalysis, microfluidics and tissue engineering. They are created by arresting the ... -
DATA: Unsteady flow and particle migration in dense, non-Brownian suspensions
We present experimental results on dense corn-starch suspensions as examples of non-Brownian, nearly-hard particles that undergo continuous and discontinuous shear thickening (CST and DST) at intermediate and high densities ... -
Tunable Shear Thickening in Suspensions
Shear thickening, an increase of viscosity with shear rate, is a ubiquitous phenomena in suspended materials that has implications for broad technological applications. Controlling this thickening behavior remains a major ... -
BslA-stabilised emulsion droplets with designed microstructure
Original microscope images of BslA-stabilised emulsion droplets and two time-lapse confocal microscope sequences (available to view using ImageJ imaging software) of BslA-stabilised partially coalesced droplets melting in ... -
Interfacial rheology of sterically stabilized colloids at liquid interfaces and its effect on the stability of Pickering emulsions
Particle-laden interfaces can be used to stabilize a variety of high-interface systems, from foams over emulsions to polymer blends. The relation between the particle interactions, the structure and rheology of the interface, ... -
Linking particle properties to dense suspension extrusion flow characteristics using discrete element simulations
Extrusion is a widely used process for forming suspensions and pastes into designed shapes, and is central to the manufacture of many products. In this article, the extrusion through a square-entry die of non-Brownian ... -
Painting with bacteria: Smart templated self assembly using motile bacteria
Dataset supporting the manuscript entitled 'Painting with bacteria: Smart templated self assembly using motile bacteria': External control of the swimming speed of ‘active particles’ can be used to self assemble designer ... -

Data for "Mixtures of blue phase liquid crystal with simple liquids: elastic emulsions and cubic fluid cylinders"
We numerically investigate the behavior of a phase-separating mixture of a blue phase I liquid crystal with an isotropic fluid. The resulting morphology is primarily controlled by an inverse capillary number, χ, setting ... -
