Advancing Aerospace and Defense Innovation: TA Instruments’ Material Characterization Portfolio

Innovation in materials science is a continuous pursuit, driven by the demand for lighter, stronger, more durable, and more reliable components. This is especially critical in the aerospace and defense industries, where materials must perform reliably under extreme conditions—including intense mechanical stress, wide temperature fluctuations, and long-term environmental exposure.

Why Rheology is Relevant and Accessible: Dispelling 5 Myths About Rheology

Will your paint stick to the wall or drip off? Does your low-fat cream cheese have the same texture as a full-fat version? How will new ingredients affect your formulation’s texture and application, especially as environmental conditions change? Rheology offers invaluable insights that help researchers, developers, and engineers across numerous industries optimize their products for performance and customer satisfaction.

Why Rheology is Relevant and Accessible

Many believe viscosity measurements alone are enough, but rheometers provide deeper insights by analyzing how materials respond under different conditions, predicting stability, flow, and performance. While rheology may seem complex, modern instruments simplify the process with guided workflows, automated analysis, and error-proof testing, making it accessible to all users.
