Improved rheometry of yield stress fluids using bespoke fractal 3D printed vanes

© 2020 The Society of Rheology. To enable robust rheological measurements of the properties of yield stress fluids, we introduce a class of modified vane fixtures with fractal-like cross-sectional structures. A greater number of outer contact edges leads to increased kinematic homogeneity at the poi...
