• "Magnetorheological fluids: a review"

de Vicente J, Klingenberg DJ, Hidalgo-Alvarez R, Soft Matter 7 (8): 3701-3710 2011. In this review paper we revisit the most outstanding advances on the rheological performance of MR fluids.

• "Settling dynamics of asymmetric rigid fibers"

Tozzi EJ, Scott CT, Vahey D et al., Physics of Fluids 23 (3): Mar 2011. The three-dimensional motion of asymmetric rigid fibers settling under gravity in a quiescent fluid was experimentally measured using a pair of cameras located on a movable platform.

• "The effect of high intensity mixing on the enzymatic hydrolysis of concentrated cellulose fiber suspensions"

Samaniuk JR, Scott CT, Root TW et al., Bioresource Technology 102 (6): 4489-4494 Mar 2011. Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass in a high shear environment was examined.

• "Shear-controlled electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes networks suspended in low and high molecular weight liquids"

Bauhofer W, Schulz SC, Eken AE, et la., Polymer 51 (22): 5024-5027 Oct 2010.  Study provides experimental evidence that given shear rates result in specific conductivity levels in such different systems as high-viscosity carbon nanotube/polymer melt or low-viscosity carbon nanotube/epoxy fiber suspensions.
