Determining Microscopic Viscoelasticity in Flexible and Semiflexible Polymer Networks from Thermal Fluctuations
B. Schnurr, F. Gittes, F. C. MacKintosh +1
We have developed a new technique to measure viscoelasticity in soft materials such as polymer solutions, by monitoring thermal fluctuations of embedded probe particles using laser…

Microscopic Viscoelasticity: Shear Moduli of Soft Materials Determined from Thermal Fluctuations
F. Gittes, B. Schnurr, P. D. Olmsted +2
We describe a high-resolution, high-bandwidth technique for determining the local viscoelasticity of soft materials such as polymer gels. Loss and storage shear moduli are determin…
