Lun. 17/06/2024 09:30 Andromede, Bâtiment 11, Etage 3 AIME Stefano (C3M, ESPCI) Rheofluidics: rheometer on a chip The measurement of frequency-dependent viscoelastic moduli is of paramount importance in many fields, from material science to biology, and is typically accomplished in bulk materials using commercial rheometers. The trend towards miniaturization in the biotechnology, manufacturing and chemical processing industries has motivated the extension of viscoelastic measurements to microscopic objects with well-defined shape and size such as droplets, vesicles, microcapsules, or even single cells. Due to the reduced size of the samples, this extension requires novel mechanical techniques to control stress and strain, and novel strategies to disentangle bulk rheology from the contribution of interfaces. In addition, it faces the challenge of sampling highly heterogeneous populations such as those typical of biological samples. Pour plus d'informations, merci de contacter Milani M. |
