Etymology

[edit]

From micro- +‎ rheology.

Noun

[edit]

microrheology (uncountable)

  1. A technique capable of measuring microviscosity
  2. (physics) The branch of rheology that deals with emulsions and heterogeneous mixtures

Quotations

[edit]
  • "Using a microrheological technique, single molecule diffusion can be used to obtain a microviscosity which contains information about the local

environment. "Aron Benjamin Goins" [1]

  • "As is the case for polymers in general, large deviations of the viscosity measured rheologically from that determined using

microrheological techniques such as MP-FCS can occur." [2]
