A model is proposed that considers aging and rejuvenation in a soft glassy material as respectively a decrease and an increase in free energy. The aging term is weighted by inverse of characteristic relaxation time suggesting greater mobility of the constituents induce faster aging in a material. A dependence of relaxation time on free energy is proposed, which under quiescent conditions, leads to power law dependence of relaxation time on waiting time as observed experimentally. The model considers two cases namely, a constant modulus when aging is entropy controlled and a time dependent modulus. In the former and the latter cases the model has respectively two and three experimentally measurable parameters that are physically meaningful. Overall the model predicts how material undergoes aging and approaches rejuvenated state under application of deformation field. Particularly model proposes distinction between various kinds of rheological effects for different combinations of parameters. Interestingly, when relaxation time evolves stronger than linear, the model predicts various features observed in soft glassy materials such as thixotropic and constant yield stress, thixotropic shear banding, and presence of residual stress and strain.

Soft glassy materials are out of thermodynamic equilibrium and show time dependent slowing down of the relaxation dynamics. Under such situation these materials follow Boltzmann superposition principle only in the effective time domain, wherein time
dependent relaxation processes are scaled by a constant relaxation time. In this work we extend effective time framework to successfully demonstrate time - temperature superposition of creep and stress relaxation data of a model soft glassy system comprised of clay suspension. Such superposition is possible when average relaxation time of the material changes with time and temperature without affecting shape of the spectrum. We show that variation in relaxation time as a function of temperature facilitates prediction of long and short time rheological behavior through time - temperature superposition from the experiments carried out over experimentally accessible timescales.
Physical properties of out of equilibrium soft materials depend on time as well as deformation history. In this work we propose to transform this major shortcoming into gain by applying controlled deformation field to tailor the rheological propertie
s. We take advantage of the fact that deformation field of a certain magnitude can prevent particles in an aging soft glassy material from occupying energy wells up to a certain depth, thereby populating only the deeper wells. We employ two soft glassy materials with dissimilar microstructures and demonstrate that increase in strength of deformation field while aging leads to narrowing of spectrum of relaxation times. We believe that, in principle, this philosophy can be universally applied to different kinds of glassy materials by changing nature and strength of impetus.
Synthetic hectorite clay Laponite RD/XLG is composed of disk-shaped nanoparticles that acquire dissimilar charges when suspended in an aqueous media. Owing to their property to spontaneously self-assemble, Laponite is used as a rheology modifier in a
variety of commercial water-based products. Particularly, aqueous dispersion of Laponite undergoes liquid - to - solid transition at about 1 volume % concentration. The evolution of the physical properties as dispersion transforms to solid state is reminiscent of physical aging in molecular as well as colloidal glasses. The corresponding soft glassy dynamics of an aqueous Laponite dispersion, including the rheological behavior, has been extensively studied in the literature. In this feature article we take an overview of recent advances in understanding soft glassy dynamics and various efforts taken to understand the peculiar rheological behaviors. Furthermore, the continuously developing microstructure that is responsible for eventual formation of soft solid state that supports its own weight against gravity has also been a topic of intense debate and discussion. Particularly extensive experimental and theoretical studies lead to two types of microstructures for this system: an attractive gel-like or repulsive glass like. We carefully examine and critically analyze the literature and propose a state diagram that suggests aqueous Laponite dispersion to be present in an attractive gel state.
In this work we study structural recovery of a soft glassy Laponite suspension by monitoring temporal evolution of elastic modulus under isothermal conditions as well as following step temperature jumps. Interestingly, evolution behavior under isothe
rmal conditions indicates the rate, and not the path of structural recovery, to be dependent on temperature. The experiments carried out under temperature jump conditions however trace a different path of structural recovery, which shows strong dependence on temperature and the direction of change. Further investigation of the system suggests that this behavior can be attributed to restricted mobility of counterions associated with Laponite particle at the time of temperature change, which do not allow counterion concentration to reach equilibrium value associated with the changed temperature. Interestingly this effect is observed to be comparable with other glassy molecular and soft materials, which while evolve in a self-similar fashion under isothermal conditions, show asymmetric behavior upon temperature change.
In this study, micro-droplets are placed on thin, glassy, free-standing films where the Laplace pressure of the droplet deforms the free-standing film, creating a bulge. The films tension is modulated by changing temperature continuously from well be
low the glass transition into the melt state of the film. The contact angle of the liquid droplet with the planar film as well as the angle of the bulge with the film are measured and found to be consistent with the contact angles predicted by a force balance at the contact line.
