Attended 86th SOR Meeting

Pier Luca attended the 86th Annual Meeting of the Society of Rheology in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA) giving the talk:”Viscoelastic focusing down to the nanoscale”. ABSTRACT – We show that nanoparticles suspended in dilute polymer solution in Poiseuille flow can be trapped in the central region of a microtube. The trap force is due…
