Abstract

The rheology of nanowires (NWs) and nanotubes (NTs) in shear flow has been analyzed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and macrofludic simulation. A method based on macrofludic system for aligning NWs and NTs is demonstrated. In this method, vortex is generated near the surface of a plane by using a mushroom like turnplate. Then a uniform velocity gradient was generated on the surface of the plane. Through controlling the rotational speed of the turnplate, the rheology of NWs and NTs in suspension can be easily controlled. So it provides a more effective and economical method for the alignment of NWs and NTs, as well as forming the anisotropy NWs and NTs bulk material.
