Reaching out to the industries where rheology is important, Prof. Ewoldt (along with Prof. Gareth McKinley (MIT) and Prof. Vivek Sharma (UIC)) recently presented an Advanced Technology Webinar to members of The Adhesive and Sealant Council. Prof. Ewoldt presented work on “Rheological unicorns: mapping and designing extensible yield-stress fluids.”  Event information here.

Prof. Ewoldt will again contribute to the Rheological Measurements Short Course at the University of Minnesota. Lead by Prof. Chris Macosko, it will be held August 12-17, 2018. Registration info here.

Arif publishes a great story, in collaboration with the Nuzzo group (UIUC Chemistry) about designing extensible yield-stress fluid inks for direct-write 3D printing.
