The Microcantilever: A Versatile Tool for Measuring the Rheological Properties of Complex Fluids

Figure 3

Example of measurements with Method 1 in shear mode on glycerol/water solution (45wt%/65wt%, blue curves) and polyacrylamide solution in water (0.05wt%/99.95wt%, red curves). The distance 𝐷 is 2 μm. Shown are the dependencies on frequency for (a) elastic 𝐺 and viscous 𝐺 shear moduli and (b) modulus of the dynamic viscosity | 𝜂 | .
