Discontinuous rate-stiffening in a granular composite modeled after cornstarch and water

Cornstarch in water exhibits impact-activated solidification (IAS) and strong discontinuous shear thickening, with “shear jamming”. However, these phenomena are absent in cornstarch in ethanol. Here we show that cornstarch granules swell under ambient conditions. We postulate that this granule swell...
