Microswimmers in Non-Newtonian Fluids

Key Points

• The research aims to analyze how microswimmers operate and move in non-Newtonian fluids.
• Focus on the swimming speed of microswimmers in non-Newtonian fluids
• Examine viscoelastic and shear-thickening fluids
• Systematic review of mechanisms affecting swimming velocity
• Identifies key mechanisms that enhance swimming speed in specific fluid types
• Demonstrates differences in movement dynamics compared to Newtonian fluids
