We have developed an apparatus to simultaneously monitor rheological parameters with high-resolution small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The device is based on a commercial rheometer coupled to concentric cylindrical shear flow geometry. The shear cell can be operated from 20 degreesC-180 degreesC without significant evaporation loss of the sample. The apparatus has wide ranging applications in the field of complex fluids such as colloidal suspensions, surfactant phases, liquid crystals, and polymer solutions. In addition, it allows performing SAXS in combination with a wide variety of rheological tests including simple shear flows, creep, recovery, as well as oscillatory deformation. The performance of the equipment is demonstrated through experiments involving shear-induced ordering of complex fluids. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
