Abstract

Methods and systems for distributing a plurality of particles within a viscoelastic specimen are disclosed. According to one example, a method includes drawing, into a doping device, a particle solution that includes a plurality of particles suspended in a buffer fluid. The method further includes adhering the particles to a surface of the doping device by evaporating the buffer fluid from the particle solution and drawing, into the doping device, a viscoelastic specimen that causes the particles to dislodge from the surface of the doping device and become suspended within the viscoelastic specimen. The method also includes measuring the movement of the particles suspended within the viscoelastic specimen to determine at least one rheological property of the viscoelastic specimen.
