Abstract
In this study we report on instability phenomena in a solution where shear induces multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) from a lamellar phase. A shear-thickening regime has been observed for hexadecyl tetraethylene glycol ether (C 16E4) dissolved in D2O at 40 °C. In this regime, unstable temporal viscosity behavior, i.e. periodic oscillations, has been observed at 2, 5 and 10 s-1. Moreover at a shear rate of 10 s-1 shear banding manifests itself as the occurrence of transparent and turbid bands stacked along the vorticity direction. We perform time-resolved-rheo-small angle neutron scattering (rheo-SANS) experiments to understand the nature of the viscosity oscillations and spatial-resolved experiments to obtain a structural characterization of vorticity bands.
