The Samaniuk Lab studies soft materials and interfacial systems, with an emphasis on linking rheological properties with material microstructure. We are primarily an experimental laboratory with a range of conventional bulk rheological tools, and we are equipped with conventional and custom interfacial rheological tools. One of our strengths is in the development of rheological tools, equipment, and methods, to study challenging materials such as those with large heterogeneities, high yield stresses, or those that require high temperatures and pressures.
