This short course is held in conjunction with the InstructorGerald G.
Fuller Gerald G. Fuller is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. He is well known for his developments of new methods in rheo-optics and is author of the book Optical Rheometry of Complex Fluids published by Oxford University Press. Professor Fuller is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and received the Bingham Medal from The Society of Rheology in 1997. Course DescriptionThe nonlinear rheology of complex liquids is linked to the coupling of their microstructure to hydrodynamic forces. Optical methods in rheology can offer an important means of establishing the link between structure and flow properties for a wide range of materials that include polymer liquids, suspensions and dispersions, liquid crystals, and surfactants. This course introduces optical techniques from the basic foundation of Maxwell equations to the design of measurements of in situ optical properties. The course will be driven by applications of these methods to solve current, technological and scientific problems in rheology. The methods that will be discussed will include:
