Microfluidics is often presented for applications where only microliters sample volumes are available. But the benefits of microchannels do not reduce to a low consumption of fluids. From a physical and mechanical point of view, microfluidics can offer high shear rates combined with low Reynolds number and low viscous heating. It becomes possible to explore high shear rheology on a lab-on-chip. We have micromachined microviscometers to study the rheological properties of nanofluids under very high shear rates conditions. Nanofluids are fluid suspensions of solid nanoparticles. Recent experiments have indicated an anomalous increase in thermal conductivity of these suspensions. But less attention has been payed to the rheological properties of nanofluids. The few results concerning the viscosity of nanofluids exhibit scattered values higher than those of fluid suspensions of microparticles, because of a higher rate of collisions due to Brownian motion and shearing motion which enhance aggregation. These experiments were performed with commercially available rheometers over a limited range of shear rates. Our viscometers on chip are silicon — Pyrex microchannels (H ≈ 10 – 20 μm) equipped with local pressure drop sensors. Nanofluids under test were ethanol-based SiO2 nanoparticles. For particle sizes from 20 nm to 190 nm, and solid volume fractions from 1.4% to 7%, a newtonian behaviour has been observed up to 5.104 s−1. High shear rheology is the only way to reach high Peclet number values with nanoparticles in a laminar flow. It was possible to cover a wide range of Peclet number and to have Pe > 1 with diameter in the tens of nanometers range. Our results have demonstrated that an apparent solid volume fraction φa > φ, due to aggregation, was responsible of the increment of viscosity. More important was the demonstration that the shape of the clusters could be modified and that the ratio φa/φ could be lowered by a very high shear rate. Very high shearing rates in microchannels appear to be a way for nanofluids to converge to a well-defined value of viscosities.

The present study focuses on the rheological properties of polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified, positively charged, and negatively charged superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) at different temperatures. We hypothesized that the surface properties of these nanoparticles in the water did not affect their rheological properties. These nanoparticles had not the same surface properties as SPIONs-PEG had not to charge on their surface whereas positively charged and negatively charged ones with amine and carboxyl groups as their surfaces had positive and negative surface charges, respectively. However, their rheological behaviors were not different from each other. The comparative rheological study of SPIONs revealed their pseudo-Newtonian behavior. The viscosity of SPIONs decreased with the increase in temperature. At low shear rates, the shear stress of SPIONs was independent of rate and increased with the increase of rate. Moreover, at high shear rates, the shear stress for PEG-SPIONs was more than those for positively charged and negatively charged SPIONs. These measurements also revealed that at high shear rates, the shear stress of samples decreased with the increase of temperature. The shear stress of samples decreased with the increase of shear strain and the temperature. We also observed that all the samples had the same amount of shear strain at each shear stress, which indicated the exact resistance of SPIONs to deformation. Furthermore, the shear modulus decreased with time for these nanoparticles. These results suggest that these nanoparticles are promising candidates with appropriate properties for fluid processing applications and drug vectors in biomedical applications.

SummaryEdoxaban is an oral, direct factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor under late-phase clinical development. This study compared the antithrombotic efficacy of edoxaban with that of an indirect FXa inhibitor, fondaparinux, in in vivo venous and arterial thrombosis models and in ex vivo perfusion chamber thrombosis model under low and high shear rates in rats. Venous and arterial thrombi were induced by platinum wire insertion into the inferior vena cava and by application of FeCl3 to the carotid artery, respectively. The perfusion chamber thrombus was formed by blood perfusion into a collagen-coated capillary at 150 s-1 (low shear rate) and 1,600 s-1 (high shear rate). Effective doses of edoxaban that reduced thrombus formation by 50% (ED50) in venous and arterial thrombosis models were 0.076 and 0.093 mg/kg/h, respectively. In contrast, ED50 of fondaparinux in the arterial thrombosis model (>10 mg/kg/h) was markedly higher compared to ED50 in the venous thrombosis model (0.021 mg/kg/h). In the perfusion chamber thrombosis model, the ratio of ED50 under high shear rate (1.13 mg/kg/h) to that under low shear rate (0.63 mg/kg/h) for edoxaban was 1.9, whereas that for fondaparinux was more than 66. While the efficacy of fondaparinux markedly decreased in arterial thrombosis and in a high-shear state, edoxaban exerted consistent antithrombotic effects regardless of flow conditions. These results suggest that shear rate is a key factor in different antithrombotic effects between edoxaban and fondaparinux.
