I'll describe recent experiments in our group where we couple rheology measurements to space and time-resolved dynamic light scattering, aiming at understanding the relationship between microscopic dynamics and linear and non-linear viscoelastic properties. I'll show that the microscopic dynamics is a very sensitive indicator of the ultimate fate of soft solids, able to detect precursors signs of failure well ahead other microscopic or macroscopic quantities [1,2]. I'll then focus on mucus gels, where an unexpected acceleration of the microscopic dynamics is seen upon applying a very modest shear strain, well within the rheological linear regime [3].

Information for the speakers

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
