식품 및 음료 산업에서의 품질 관리는 유변학에서만 가능합니다
마지막으로 베이글에 크림치즈를 바를 때, 바르는 게 얼마나 쉬웠는지(혹은 어려웠는지) 기억하셨나요? 샐러드 드레싱을 흔들어 분리된 기름과 식초를 다시 섞으시나요?
레올로지를 활용하여 전자 부품 디스펜싱 및 유동을 최적화하고 처리량 증대
디스펜싱과 유동성은 다양한 전자제품 제조 공정 및 소재에 있어 중요합니다. 솔더 페이스트와 접착제의 정밀 도포부터 유연 전자 소자 및 적층 제조 방식의 새로운 기술 개발에 이르기까지, 유변학은 공정성, 제품 품질 및 제조 일관성을 향상시키는 데 핵심적인 역할을 합니다.
Deborah, Chirp, and Resilience
In rheology, the Deborah number (De) carries a timeless message: everything flows — if you wait long enough. Named after the prophetess Deborah, it stands out as a rare feminine presence in the language of rheology, and a poetic one. The number reminds us that what appears solid and unchanging may, over long enough timescales, soften, yield, and flow.
Chocolate Romance, Rheology Style
Valentine’s Day is usually about hearts, flowers, and sweet messages, but this year, we found romance somewhere unexpected: inside a rheometer. With two iconic chocolates as our leading characters, milk chocolate and milk chocolate wrapped in a white crème embrace, we discovered that chocolate has a lot to teach us about love, chemistry, and how relationships behave under heat, pressure, and time.
Rheology is Brewed: The Battle of the Coffees – Colombia vs. Brazil
Grab your favorite mug and get ready for a caffeinated clash of titans! We all know that coffees produced in different regions are distinct; like wine, the taste will vary with soil, climate, and altitude. Some of our lab members are partial to the distinct flavors from Colombia and Brazil when it comes to their cups of coffee.
Don’t Let Bad Rheology Data Burn You
Summer is all about sunshine, pool days, and of course — sunscreen. But while most people are focused on SPF and water resistance, we’re here to talk about something just as important (and way more fun if you’re a science nerd): rheology.
Coffee Powder Rheology
Coffee lovers know that the grind size and roast degree of coffee beans can significantly impact the flavor and texture of their favorite beverage. But did you know that these factors also affect the rheological properties of coffee powders?
Rheology is 有趣 (yǒu qù): Our Eco-Friendly Wishing Lantern
During the Lunar New Year, sky lanterns are released to symbolize the letting go of the past year’s troubles and welcoming new beginnings. The sky lantern tradition is thousands of years old, spreading from Buddhist Monks in the 2nd Century to modern festivals in China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.
Rheology is Maza: Unveiling the Secrets of Flowing Rangoli Colors
Powders are a big part of everyday life, from baking and laundry to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Understanding powder rheology—how powders flow and deform—is crucial for optimizing their use in various applications. This knowledge helps industries maintain consistency and product quality.
How to Accelerate Successful Product Development with Rheology
Rheology is a notoriously complex field, combining mathematics and physics to characterize materials. For inexperienced users, rheology can seem like a massive challenge. Luckily, new technology simplifies rheology down to its core so you can get essential measurements without difficult training, measurements, or calculations.
Viscometer vs Rheometer: Discover Why a Rheometer Offers More Than Just Viscosity Measurement
If you’re working with materials that can be flowed, for example within pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, or petrochemical industries, it’s likely that there is a viscometer in the laboratory that is the go-to instrument for formulation testing or QA purposes. However, does this viscometer give you the whole picture and fully meet all your needs?
Linear Viscoelastic Region: Why It’s Crucial in Materials Testing
Our world is brimming with viscoelastic materials: The dough you knead before baking a fresh loaf, the Silly Putty your toddler slaps against the wall, the rubber gaskets that create an airtight seal on an airplane door. Testing those materials by applying controlled deformations (strains) or forces (stresses) at various timescales, temperatures, and/or humidities allows for the optimization of properties and ensures durability and safety.
