SEM images show that the silver nanoshells may be formed at 130 ℃ and deformed at 180 ℃ in hot inert flowing liquid. XRD indicates the formation of cubic structure pure silver with high crystallinity. Also, EDX and UV diffuse reflection spectrum analyses were conducted to characterize the as-prepared samples.展开更多

The results show that the SiO2/PEG suspension possesses the reversible shear thinning and shear thickening behaviors. In the shear thinning region, the loss modulus （G＂） almost remains unchanged, whereas the storage modulus （G＇） decreases. In the shear thickening region, G＂ and G＇ increase for the formation of the ＂clusters＂. The larger G＂ over G＇ in all the stress studied shows that the system mainly possesses the viscous property, and that the energy dissipated（Ed） is larger than that stored. Ed of this suspension is proportional to the maximum strain （Tmax） rising with the exponent of 1.92 under low shear stress; however, in the shear thickening region, Ed is proportional to γ max rising with the exponent of 5.00.展开更多
