Electric-field-induced yielding of colloidal gels in microfluidic capillaries

We introduce a method to generate a purely internal rupture of colloidal particle gels by application of an electric field as they are confined in a microfluidic device. Characterization of the local, microstructural effect of yielding made possible by the device avoids the complication of shear ban...

520 |a We introduce a method to generate a purely internal rupture of colloidal particle gels by application of an electric field as they are confined in a microfluidic device. Characterization of the local, microstructural effect of yielding made possible by the device avoids the complication of shear banding that often occurs in attempts to generate yielding of colloidal gels. The gels are comprised of spherical sterically stabilized poly(methyl methacrylate) particles suspended in a density and refractive index matched organic solvent mixture. Because the particles are charged, application of an electric field imposes a force on the gel body that results in homogeneous internal rupture and yielding. After cessation of the electric field, the gel network rapidly reforms. The structure of the reformed gel differs significantly from the one present prior to the application of the electric field. The microstructural changes that accompany the yielding transition are quantified by comparing confocal microscopy image volumes acquired before and after rupture. We find that the local structure of the colloidal gel after recovery, as quantified by the contact number distribution, is negligibly affected by the yielding transition; however, the long-range structure of the gel, as quantified by spatial fluctuations in number density, is significantly impacted. The result highlights the effect of the small number of short-range bond-breaking events that induce the observed changes in collective, long-range structure
