Science - Genetics / Molecules
English term or phrase: shear forces
Hello!

I think this one is also easy, but for sure... "X discloses that linear dichroism techniques can be applied to polymeric materials such as DNA, protein and polysaccharides that can be oriented by shear forces and to long species such as carbon nanotubes (Bucky Tubes)."

My attempt: "fuerzas de corte".

Thank you.
