Rheology and Shear-Induced Textures of Silver Nanowire Lyotropic Liquid Crystals

Figure 5

(a) Relationship between viscosity and total Ag volume fraction in EG at a shear rate of 0.01 (orange circles), 0.1 (blue diamonds), 1 (green triangles), and 10 (red squares) s−1. (b) Viscosity versus shear stress curves for Ag-EG dispersions showed a yield stress at concentrations greater than 0.8 vol.%.
