Area of Science:

  • Rheology
  • Complex Fluids
  • Optical Techniques

Background:

  • Standard mechanical rheology instruments have limitations in frequency range and sample volume.
  • Investigating local rheological properties in complex fluids is crucial for understanding their behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new optical technique for local rheological measurements.
  • To extend the measurable frequency range beyond standard instrumentation.
  • To enable 3D mapping of rheological properties in heterogeneous systems.

Main Methods:

  • Dynamic light scattering (DLS) with low-coherence radiation in a fiber optics configuration.
  • Confining measurements to a small sample volume (approx. 0.1 picoliter).
  • Testing the technique with Newtonian liquids, viscoelastic complex fluids, and polymer solutions.
