Abstract

AbstractCharacteristic structural, kinetical and rheological behaviors observed with alkaline aqueous suspensions of sodium lithocholate nanotubes are presented. The scaling behavior of the elastic shear modulus and yield stress as a function of concentration support the description of the fragile network with degrees of freedom at the hinges. The kinetics of nanotube formation mixes a component of the structural sequence for single aggregates and a collective component describing the relaxation of the distribution of tubes. SLC suspensions are easily shear‐thinned (and oriented) in purely Newtonian shearing conditions.
