Creating Blood Analogs to Mimic Steady-State Non-Newtonian Shear-Thinning Characteristics Under Various Thermal Conditions by Hang Yi, Alexander Wang, Christopher Wang, Jared Chong, Chungyiu Ma, Luke Bramlage, Bryan Ludwig, Zifeng Yang

“…Additionally, a strong linear correlation was observed between body temperature and XG concentration in both blood analogs (coefficient of determination > 0.96): for Type I, 295–312 K correlates with 140–520 ppm, and for Type II, 295–315 K correlates with 200–560 ppm. This work bridges the gap between idealized steady-state non-Newtonian viscosity models of blood and the complexities of real-world physiological conditions, offering a versatile platform for advancing particle image velocimetry tests and hemodynamics modeling, optimizing therapeutic interventions, and enhancing biomedical technologies in temperature-sensitive environments.…”
