Application of a microrheology technique to measure the viscosity of disodium cromoglycate liquid crystal

Listed in DataCite

Although the science of rheology is well established, some important challenges still persist to measure the viscoelastic properties of complex fluids, such as biological solutions and liquid crystals (LC).

Description

In this work, we present a method, based on the calculation of the step length of Brownian particles, to measure the effective local viscosity sensed by microscopic objects in the LC host. This approach allowed us to quantify the anisotropy of the viscosity, and it could also be extended to measure the local viscosity in other nonhomogeneous media.

We also present a new guided light dark-field microscopy technique that was used to track particles during our experiments.
