Abstract
The fundamental problem of complex fluid rheology is one of microstructure engineering. The rheology derives from how this microstructure deforms, relaxes, or breaks. Optical tweezers have become exceptionally useful tools for measuring the interactions and mechanics of on microscopic length scales to provide critical insight into the rheology of colloidal suspensions. In this talk, I will discuss how laser tweezer micromanipulation enables us to build, prod, deform, and break microstructures to gain insight into the mechanics and flow behavior of colloidal gels. Our experiments include measurements of the bending mechanics of assembled colloidal aggregates, the measurement of "bond rupture" between sticky particles, and probing the strain propagation in cluster gels.
