Shear thickening denotes the rapid and reversible increase in viscosity of a suspension of rigid particles under external shear. This ubiquitous phenomenon has been documented in a broad variety of multiphase particulate systems, while its microscopic origin has been successively attributed to hydrodynamic interactions and frictional contact between particles. The relative contribution of these two phenomena to the magnitude of shear thickening is still highly debated and we report here a discriminating experimental study using a model shear-thickening suspension that allows us to tune independently both the surface chemistry and the surface roughness of the particles. We show here that both properties matter when it comes to continuous shear thickening (CST) and that the presence of hydrogen bonds between the particles is essential to achieve discontinuous shear thickening (DST) by enhancing solid friction between closely contacting particles. Moreover, a simple argument allows us to predict the onset of CST, which for these highly-textured particles occurs at a critical volume fraction much lower than that previously reported in the literature. Finally, we demonstrate how mixtures of particles with opposing surface chemistry make it possible to finely tune the shear-thickening response of the suspension at a fixed volume fraction, paving the way for a fine control of shear-thickening transition in engineering applications.

Dense suspensions are non-Newtonian fluids which exhibit strong shear thickening and normal stress differences. Using numerical simulation of extensional and shear flows, we investigate how rheological properties are determined by the microstructure
which is built under flows and by the interactions between particles. By imposing extensional and shear flows, we can assess the degree of flow-type dependence in regimes below and above thickening. Even when the flow-type dependence is hindered, nondissipative responses, such as normal stress differences, are present and characterise the non-Newtonian behaviour of dense suspensions.
We study the rheology of cornstarch suspensions, a non-Brownian particle system that exhibits discontinuous shear thickening. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the local properties of the flow are obtained by the determination of local velocity
profiles and concentrations in a Couette cell. For low rotational rates, we observe shear localization characteristic of yield stress fluids. When the overall shear rate is increased, the width of the sheared region increases. The discontinuous shear thickening is found to set in at the end of this shear localization regime when all of the fluid is sheared: the existence of a nonflowing region, thus, seems to prevent or delay shear thickening. Macroscopic observations using different measurement geometries show that the smaller the gap of the shear cell, the lower the shear rate at which shear thickening sets in. We, thus, propose that the discontinuous shear thickening of cornstarch suspensions is a consequence of dilatancy: the system under flow attempts to dilate but instead undergoes a jamming transition, because it is confined. This proposition is confirmed by an independent measurement of the dilation of the suspension as a function of the shear rate. It is also explains the MRI observations: when flow is localized, the nonflowing region plays the role of a dilatancy reservoir which allows the material to be sheared without jamming.
Nearly all dense suspensions undergo dramatic and abrupt thickening transitions in their flow behavior when sheared at high stresses. Such transitions occur when the dominant interactions between the suspended particles shift from hydrodynamic to fri
ctional. Here, we interpret abrupt shear thickening as a precursor to a rigidity transition, and give a complete theory of the viscosity in terms of a universal crossover scaling function from the frictionless jamming point to a rigidity transition associated with friction, anisotropy, and shear. Strikingly, we find experimentally that for two different systems -- cornstarch in glycerol and silica spheres in glycerol -- the viscosity can be collapsed onto a single universal curve over a wide range of stresses and volume fractions. The collapse reveals two separate scaling regimes, due to a crossover between frictionless isotropic jamming and a frictional shear jamming point with different critical exponents. The material-specific behavior due to the microscale particle interactions is incorporated into an additive analytic background (given by the viscosity at low shear rates) and a scaling variable governing the proximity to shear jamming that depends on both stress and volume fraction. This reformulation opens the door to importing the vast theoretical machinery developed to understand equilibrium critical phenomena to elucidate fundamental physical aspects of the shear thickening transition.
We consider the shear rheology of concentrated suspensions of non-Brownian frictional particles. The key result of our study is the emergence of a pronounced shear-thickening regime, where frictionless particles would normally undergo shear-thinning.
We clarify that shear thickening in our simulations is due to enhanced energy dissipation via frictional inter-particle forces. Moreover, we evidence the formation of dynamically correlated particle-clusters of size $xi$, which contribute to shear thickening via an increase in emph{viscous} dissipation. A scaling argument gives $etasim xi^2$, which is in very good agreement with the data.
We study the fronts that appear when a shear-thickening suspension is submitted to a sudden driving force at a boundary. Using a quasi-one-dimensional experimental geometry, we extract the front shape and the propagation speed from the suspension flo
w field and map out their dependence on applied shear. We find that the relation between stress and velocity is quadratic, as is generally true for inertial effects in liquids, but with a pre-factor that can be much larger than the material density. We show that these experimental findings can be explained by an extension of the Wyart-Cates model, which was originally developed to describe steady-state shear-thickening. This is achieved by introducing a sole additional parameter: the characteristic strain scale that controls the crossover from start-up response to steady-state behavior. The theoretical framework we obtain unifies both transient and steady-state properties of shear-thickening materials.
