Objetivos e Atividades
The main goal of this project is to develop new fluids that in any way can mimic some, or all, of the blood rheological and functional properties. Additionally, other related fluids, with special properties, can outcome from the project, considering that a large extent of possibilities will be explored. For example, fluids able to flow with a very high solid
content, or carrying a suspension of particles with a high ratio of solid surface to volume of solid, may arise from our study.
