A microfluidic approach to probing the first normal stress difference from single-point pressure measurements in transient shear flows is presented. Using an original experimental design, we examine the near-zero-mean pulsatile

Aiming toward the magnetorheological characterization of whole human blood, we evaluated the suitability of our experimental setup for steady shear measurements with low-viscosity fluids. Previous measurements with a rotational rheometer

The objective of this work is to characterize the onset of laterally asymmetric flow of viscoelastic solutions around a confined microfluidic cylinder, which was encountered in a recent study [Rodrigues

T. Rodrigues, R. Mota, L. Gales, and L. Campo-Deaño Blood plasma (BP) is a borderline non-Newtonian fluid. Few studies have characterized the rheology of BP and even less focused on

A. Rubio, M. López, T. Rodrigues, L. Campo-Deaño and E. J. Vega There has been enormous interest in the production of fluids with rheological properties similar to those of real

Biopolymers comprise a large variety of molecules of natural origin such as bacteria, algae, fungi, plants and animals, which have been increasingly studied for distinct applications due to their sustainability,
