Here we show that the viscous shear forces in nanoconfined water can be orders of magnitudes larger than in bulk water if the confining surfaces are hydrophilic, whereas they greatly decrease when ...

Homogenization also creates additional forces, including cavitation and the impact of the samples colliding. High-shear mixing can accommodate more viscous samples and larger volumes than ...

However, working with water-like solutions in a conventional rheometer at high shear rates would be very difficult from the experimental point of view. This is because the solution may not be viscous ...
