Abstract

Concentrated dispersions of soft particles are shown to exhibit a generic slip behavior near smooth surfaces. Slip results from a balance between osmotic forces and noncontact elastohydrodynamic interaction between the squeezed particles and the wall. A model is presented that predicts the slip properties and provides insight into the behavior of the bulk paste.
