Hello, my name is Daisy Visser. I'm from the Netherlands (Vlissingen) and in my final year (VWO 6, the highest level of Dutch pre-university secondary education) at Nehalennia Breeweg in Middelburg.

For my profielwerkstuk (a required final research project at VWO level), I'm investigating non-Newtonian fluids from a chemical perspective.

I focus on the chemical mechanisms behind their flow behavior, how predictable it is, and ways to adjust that behavior. I'm also curious about the theoretical role of nanoparticles in this. I've already invested over 80 hours, but a week before the deadline, I've decided to add this survey to hear from experts—like you—about the importance and applications of these fluids.

Thank you in advance for your input!
