• Clay alignment in electric fields 

      Castberg, Rene; Rozynek, Zbigniew; Fossum, Jon Otto; Måløy, Knut Jørgen; Dommersnes, Paul; Flekkøy, Eirik Grude (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The response of rotational alignment of lithium fluorohectorite (Li-Fh) to an external electric field has been studied by employing image analysis. Large aggregates consisting of many single clay particles were prepared ...
    • Dipolar ordering of clay particles in various carrier fluids 

      Rozynek, Zbigniew; Mauroy, Henrik; Castberg, Rene; Knudsen, Kenneth Dahl; Fossum, Jon Otto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      We investigate here examples of complexity in composite materials. The objective of the paper is to show that clay particles can be aligned in different hosting media, such as: silicone oil, paraffin-wax, polystyrene and ...
    • Electric stress-induced slip lines in jammed particle monolayers 

      Mikkelsen, Alexander; Dommersnes, Paul Gunnar; Fossum, Jon Otto (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Drops fully covered by particles, so called Pickering emulsion drops, are used to stabilize emulsions and are ideal templates for producing particles and advanced capsules. Recent studies show how electrohydrodynamic ...
    • Electric-stress-induced Slip Lines in Jammed Particle Monolayers 

      Mikkelsen, Alexander; Dommersnes, Paul Gunnar; Fossum, Jon Otto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Drops fully covered by particles, so called Pickering emulsion drops, are used to stabilize emulsions and are ideal templates for producing particles and advanced capsules. Recent studies show how electrohydrodynamic ...
    • The Frederiks transition in an aqueous clay dispersion 

      Hemmen, Henrik; Hansen, Elisabeth Lindbo; Ringdal, Nils Ivar; Fossum, Jon Otto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      We show that under certain circumstances, aqueous dispersions of Na-fluorohectorite synthetic clay display transient spatially periodic structures when subjected to magnetic fields. These nematic structures result from the ...
