Yielding and Rheology of Charged Vesicle Gels

Explore the yielding and rheology of charged vesicle gels in this 18-minute conference talk from the Thematic Programme on "Non-equilibrium Processes in Physics and Biology" at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics. Delve into the formation of soft glassy materials from charged vesicle suspensions in salty water, examining their behavior as Wigner glasses and gels. Discover experimental and numerical results on flow curves, oscillatory shear analysis, and creep tests, supported by Brownian dynamics simulations. Gain insights into the microstructural basis of macroscopic rheology and the interplay between attractive and repulsive interactions in these systems. Learn about ongoing research on aging and dynamics, including DDM analysis, to further understand soft glassy materials with competing interactions.
