Measuring Viscoelastic Deformation with an Optical Mouse
Ng, T. W.
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n11 p1628 Nov 2004
The feasibility of using an optical mouse to track the viscoelastic deformation of low-density polyethylene films that have a fixed attached load is presented. It is seen that using an optical mouse and with rudimentary experiment paraphernalia and arrangement, it is possible to get good measurements of viscoelastic deformation.
