Abstract
In order to understand the relation between the microscopic structure, the local rheological properties and the bulk properties, new techniques were developed. One technique is magnetic tweezers that allow the application of local forces up to 10 nN on paramagnetic beads with a diameter of 4.5 μm. Another approach is the observation of the thermal motion of colloidal probe beads, which are embedded in a polymer network.
