MICRO-RHEOLOGY BY NMR: Unveiling the non-Newtonian properties of liquids by MGSE spectroscopy Janez 1 Stepišnik , 1 University Aleš 1 Mohorič , Igor 1 Serša , Carlos 2 Mattea , 2 Stapf Siegfried of Ljubljana, FMF, Institute „Jožef Stefan“, Ljubljana, Slovenia, and 2 Technical Viscosity spectra of fluids Passive micro-rheology Micro-rheology is a technique used to measure the rheological properties of a medium, such as microviscosity, via the measurement of the trajectory of a flow tracer. Passive micro-rheology uses the thermal energy (kT) to move the tracers, which trajectories are measured optically either by microscopy or by diffusing-wave spectroscopy in order to yield the viscosity according to the generalized EinsteinSmoluchowsky relation1 and Franci 1,2 Bajd University, Ilmenau, Germany Measuring system-NMR mouse VAS of a variety of liquids and their mixtures was measured to get the viscosity spectra according to formula h(w)=h0 D(0)/D(w), in which h0 is declared fluid viscosity: Glycerol 26oC 1 Re (w ) = D(w ), kT which links the mobility spectrum and the velocity autocorrelation spectrum (VAS) D(w ) = v x (t )v x (0 ) cos(w t ) dt .

By changing t we can obtain D(w) at different modulation frequencies.
