Abstract(in English) Molecular motion in a micro particle of fluid, with approximate radius of 10μm, is determined by the surface tension and the viscosity rather than the gravity and inertia. The characteristic time scale of the macroscopic behavior of the fluid particle is in the order of a few micro seconds. Using a newly developed experimental system, we achieved the measurement of hyper rheology. The head on collision of micro particles can bring the fluid into the very high shear rate up to 10^6 s^<-1>. In such a case of liquid crystals, the coupling between shear flow and molecular rotation plays an important role in determining the fluid properties. We observed the molecular orientation induced by the hyper shear flow, whose time scale is in the similar order of that of the orientational relaxation. The magnitude of the induced orientaional order is estimated with the coupling viscosity and the experimental conditions.
