microviscosity
Definitions
The friction experienced by a single particle undergoing diffusion because of its interaction with its environment at the micrometer length scale.
Examples
“Both the crowding density and relative size of each co-solute in a mixture will contribute⟳ to the measured microviscosity as assessed by altered translational mobility.”
“The friction experienced by a single particle can be thought of as a microscopic viscosity (microviscosity) and should not necessarily agree⟳ with the bulk viscosity since it is a measure⟳ of the probe's local friction whereas bulk viscosity analogously would be the measure⟳ of an infinitely large probe.”
