Also, the energy dissipation ratios – a measure for the plasticity of the gel – were determined as a function of strain. The ALB-RF gel showed an increase in plastic response at larger strains compared to the
Viscosity is considered impossible to calculate from theory because it strongly depends on liquid structure, composition and interactions as well as external conditions in a complicated way. Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg compared the difficulty of calculating the viscosity of water to the problem of cal...
