A MEMS viscometer for unadulterated human blood
Reported is the design and theoretical modelling of an oscillating micro-mechanical viscometer designed for the in-situ measurement of whole unadulterated human blood and other non-Newtonian fluids. The optimum geometrical configuration for the device structure has been investigated and a methodology for defining the optimum configuration of the micro-mechanical sensor identified, this has advanced the field of biorheology, microfluidics and polymer processing. Contributes to: risk assessment of atherosclerosis, thrombosis and stroke; in-situ dynamic microrheology of minute and trace materials; temperature measurement to 0.1 mK, thermal imaging.
