      abstract     = {Soft matter materials are classically characterized by
                      rheological experiments, which probe the mechanical response
                      to shear flow. Knowledge of the microscopic structure in
                      flow is crucial to understand, predict, and tune flow
                      behaviour and therefore the macroscopic rheological response
                      of complex fluids. A simple example of such fluids are
                      dispersions of stiff particles, as alignment of the
                      particles will cause a huge drop in the viscosity of the
                      fluid. This ‘shear thinning’ can cause flow to be
                      unstable, but it is yet unclear how this highly non-linear
                      behaviour is linked to microscopic features such as the
                      stiffness and dimensions of the particles. In this talk I
                      will present in situ time-resolved scattering [1-4] and
                      microscopy experiments [5] on a variety of supramolecular
                      polymers such as wormlike micelles, grafted-DNA, F-actin,
                      and rod-like viruses. I will show how this (3-D) structural
                      information indeed discloses new mechanisms underlying
                      non-linear macroscopic responses as well as the need of
                      improvements in theory.},
