Shear force is any force corresponding to a material’s surface. In liquid, for example, this leads to friction between fluid particles, leading to particle size reduction. In high shear mixing, shear ...

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have increased the fatigue threshold of particle-reinforced rubber, developing a new, multiscale approach ...

Homogenization is an essential step in several industrial processes, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. Two common homogenization methods are high-pressure homogenization (HPH) and ...

Homogenization is crucial in soy milk manufacturing, improving its taste and stability. This process involves exposing the liquid to intense shearing and breaking down large fat globules and protein ...

Computational homogenization has emerged as an indispensable tool for bridging the gap between the microscale heterogeneity of composite materials and their macroscopic behaviour. By employing ...

To improve its shelf-life, milk undergoes a homogenization process. This process produces fat globules of a uniform, small size. During the homogenization process the size range of the fat globules is ...

An emulsion is a two-phase system formed by droplets dispersed in another non-miscible liquid. Many emulsions consist of a hydrophobic ‘oily’ phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase.
