Journal ArticleDOI
Single line particle focusing induced by viscoelasticity of the suspending liquid: theory, experiments and simulations to design a micropipe flow-focuser
Gaetano D'Avino,Giovanni Romeo,Massimiliano M. Villone,Francesco Greco,Paolo A. Netti,Paolo A. Netti,Pier Luca Maffettone +6 more
TL;DR: This work performs 3D numerical simulations, heuristic modeling and microfluidic experiments to demonstrate, for the first time, the presence of a bistability scenario for transversal migration of particles suspended in a viscoelastic liquid flowing in a pipe.
Journal ArticleDOI
α,α-Trehalose/Water Solutions. 5. Hydration and Viscosity in Dilute and Semidilute Disaccharide Solutions
Caterina Branca,Salvatore Magazù,Giacomo Maisano,Federica Migliardo,and P. Migliardo,Giovanni Romeo +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report viscosity and compressibility measurements of trehalose, maltose, and sucrose aqueous solutions at different concentration and temperature values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle alignment in a viscoelastic liquid flowing in a square-shaped microchannel
Francesco Del Giudice,Giovanni Romeo,Gaetano D'Avino,Francesco Greco,Paolo A. Netti,Paolo A. Netti,Pier Luca Maffettone,Pier Luca Maffettone +7 more
TL;DR: The possibility to achieve 3D particle focusing in a straight microchannel with a square cross-section by exploiting purely viscoelastic effects is demonstrated and particles migrate towards the channel centerline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature‐Controlled Transitions Between Glass, Liquid, and Gel States in Dense p‐NIPA Suspensions
Giovanni Romeo,Alberto Fernandez-Nieves,Alberto Fernandez-Nieves,Hans M. Wyss,Hans M. Wyss,Domenico Acierno,David A. Weitz +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that concentrated p-NIPA suspensions in a low temperature glassy state can liquefy and then solidify again as the temperature is raised across the LCST, and the elasticity of these suspensions exhibits critical-like behavior as a function of temperature both above and below theLCST.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscoelastic flow-focusing in microchannels: scaling properties of the particle radial distributions
Giovanni Romeo,Gaetano D'Avino,Gaetano D'Avino,Francesco Greco,Paolo A. Netti,Paolo A. Netti,Pier Luca Maffettone +6 more
TL;DR: A simple and general way to define the flow-focusing conditions promoted by viscoelastic effects is given: the experimental particle distributions along the channel axial direction collapse on a single curve when rescaled in terms of the proposed dimensionless number.
