Abstract

We report surface shear rheological measurements on monolayers of silica nanoparticles at the air-water interface. We have used the method of strain-rate frequency superposition (SRFS) to characterize the structural relaxation. We show that the rheological properties of the layers have the same universal linear and nonlinear behavior as three-dimensional soft materials. We also discuss the original healing properties of these monolayers.
