The Interfacial Shear Rheometry of Paramagnetic Particles

Katherine Groomes

This study examines the behavior of an interfacial layer of paramagnetic particles. Using a rheometer whose motion is unaffected by a magnetic field, a shear force is applied to the particles, both in the presence and absence of a magnetic field. This method allows us to analyze both the stiffness of the particles and any possible patterns in their arrangement when subjected to a deforming shear force.
