Shear wave dispersion in mechanically self-similar gel networks (1998)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (1998). Shear wave dispersion in mechanically self-similar gel networks. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 31(9), 1083

A study of viscoelastic shear wave dispersion in a simulated gelation process involving mechanically self-similar nodal networks is reported. The network formed at the gel point (the infinite network cluster, or `critical gel') shares a common struct... Read More about Shear wave dispersion in mechanically self-similar gel networks.

Rheometrical aspects of the viscoelastic dispersion of shear waves in gel-like mechanical networks (1998)
Journal Article
Williams, P., & Williams, R. (1998). Rheometrical aspects of the viscoelastic dispersion of shear waves in gel-like mechanical networks. Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 78(2-3), 203-225. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0377-0257%2898%2900066-4

A modified form of the Gross-Marvin ladder model is used to simulate gelation processes in which α, the viscoelastic stress relaxation exponent in the Gel Equation, can be varied in the range O

Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions (1993)
Journal Article
Williams, P., Williams, D., & Williams, R. (1993). Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 77(1), 75-79. https://doi.org/10.1016/0927-7757%2893%2980101-j

A new instrument, the virtual gap rheometer (VGR) for the determination of dynamic shear moduli (and mechanical relaxation spectra therefrom) at frequencies above 100 Hz is described. Several features of the VGR which make it particularly suited to t... Read More about Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions.
