Shear Banding in an F-Actin Solution
Shear Banding in an F-Actin Solution is a scholarly work by Toshiyuki Nakagaki, published in 2012 in ''Physical Review Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include physics, shear flow, hemorheology, critical resolved shear stress, mechanics, materials science, glass transition, shear stress, Pure shear, shear rate, rheology, shear, simple shear, mixture, thermodynamics, and Shear velocity. The authors report herein the first evidence that an F-actin solution shows shear banding, which is characterized by the spontaneous separation of homogeneous shear flow into two macroscopic domains of different definite shear rates.
