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

Silicon microcantilevers can be used to measure the rheological properties of complex fluids. In this paper, two different methods will be presented. In the first method, the microcantilever is used to measure the hydrodynamic force exerted by a confined fluid on a sphere that is attached to the mic...
