Phase transitions of cellulose nanocrystal suspensions from nonlinear oscillatory shear
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2022

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) self- assemble in water suspensions into liquid crystalline assemblies. Here, we elucidate the microstructural changes associated with nonlinear deformations in (2–9 wt%) CNC suspensions through nonlinear rheological analysis, that was performed in paral- lel with coupled rheology—polarized light imaging. We show that nonlinear material parameters from Fourier-transform rheology and stress decomposition are sensitive to all CNC phases investigated, i.e. iso- tropic, biphasic and liquid crystalline. This is in con- trast to steady shear and linear viscoelastic dynamic moduli where the three-region behavior and weak strain overshoot cannot distinguish between biphasic and liquid crystalline phases. Thus, the inter-cycle and intra-cycle nonlinear parameters investigated are a more sensitive approach to relate rheological meas- urements to CNC phase behavior.
