Spatially resolved quantitative rheo-optics of complex fluids in a microfluidic device

In this study, we use microparticle image velocimetry (μ-PIV) and adapt a commercial birefringence microscopy system for making full-field, quantitative measurements of flow-induced birefringence (FIB) for the purpose of microfluidic, optical rheometry of two wormlike micellar solutions. In combinat...
