Session 4

Session 4: November 5, 10:00-12:30 hrs. San Luis Potosí time (CST).

“RHEOLOGY OF NON-EQUILIBRIUM MATTER”.

Focus: In this session, the invited guests will discuss recent experimental and theoretical advances in the understanding of the non-equilibrium rheological and viscoelastic properties of matter near dynamical arrest conditions.
