Bridging Tribology and Microrheology of Thin Films

An enhanced version of the flexure-based microgap rheometer (FMR) is described which enables rheological measurements in steady state shearing flows of bulk fluid samples of PDMS with an absolute gap separation between the shearing surfaces of 100 nm - 100 mm. Alignment of the shearing surfaces to a...
