In microrheology, the local and bulk mechanical properties of a complex fluid are extracted
from the motion of probe particles embedded within it. In passive microrheology, particles …

Microrheology was proposed almost twenty years ago as a technique to obtain rheological
properties in soft matter from the microscopic motion of colloidal tracers used as probes …

In this study, we report the microfluidic-based synthesis of a multifunctional Janus hydrogel
particle with anisotropic superparamagnetic properties and chemical composition for the …

Spherical and non-spherical magnetic hydrogel particles were synthesized in a microfluidic
device containing an embedded UV light reflector. Monodisperse magnetic emulsion …

Functional gel particles produced through the incorporation of an inorganic material are
used in a wide range of applications [1] ranging from cosmetics [2] to optics [3, 4] and …

Microrheological study of complex fluids traces its roots to the work of the botanist Robert
Brown in the early nineteenth century. Indeed, passive microrheology and Brownian motion …

We introduce active, probe-based microrheological techniques for measuring the flow and
deformation of complex fluids. These techniques are ideal for mechanical characterization …

We apply smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD)[Español and Revenga, Phys.
Rev. E 67, 026705 (2003)] to model solid particles in suspension. SDPD is a …

Silicate nanorods (attapulgite, ATT) were organically modified and homogeneously
dispersed in a cyanate ester (CE) resin. ATT dispersions and networks were characterized …

We study the fluctuating motion of a Brownian-sized probe particle as it is dragged by a
constant external force through a colloidal dispersion. In this nonlinear-microrheology …
