P01. Experimental methods and progress in rheometry
Rheometry refers to a broad range of experimental techniques that quantify complex deformation and flow behaviors via stress and strain measurements. This session aims to showcase the latest advancements and innovations in rheometric techniques, highlighting both new solutions to long-lasting problems in traditional rheometry and cutting-edge approaches that extend the time-, length-, and energy-scale of rheometry. We welcome talks on topics including but not limited to: new capabilities and limitations of capillary, Couette, rotational, shear, and extensional rheometers; microfluidic rheometry; high-throughput characterization; minimal sample volumes and amounts; optical and microrheology techniques; high-frequency bulk rheometers; rheo-X in-situ combination with other structural characterizations; and data analysis and interpretation. Advanced rheometry continues to deepen our understanding of material microstructure, dynamics, and performance across diverse applications. The future of rheology relies on new methods.
