Abstract

We define a creep-flow-based measurement procedure to allow reliable and reproducible results on aging and yielding materials to be obtained. Investigation of the effects of different parameter such as the pre-shear time, the recovery time and the applied stress magnitude on the viscoelastic properties of a lyotropic liquid crystal phase is reported. Cryo-TEM observations indicate the formation of multiconnected bilayers at rest. Shearing the investigated material shows a propensity to acquire all the macroscopic properties of “soft jammed systems”. These properties are then interpreted in terms of shear-induced structural rearrangement on the basis of cryofracture observation obtained at different times after the preshear imposed.
