Professor Chris Macosko – Analyzing Molecular Weight Distribution w/ Rheology In this TA Instruments Webinar, Professor Chris Macosko discusses analyzing molecular weight distribution and blend morphology using rheology. Rheology is a powerful tool for analyzing polymer blends. This seminar will begin with the simplest case: molten blends of two different molecular weight homopolymers.We will…
DetailsThe Role of Interfacial Elasticity on the Rheological Behavior of Polymer Blends: João Maia, Ph.D. The Role of Interfacial Elasticity on the Rheological Behavior of Polymer Blends Polymer blends are commonly used to generate materials with a desired combination of performance properties and cost. Most polymer blends are compatibilized to promote stability of the otherwise immiscible…
DetailsRandy H. Ewoldt: Experimental Challenges of Shear Rheology, How to Avoid Bad Data How do you know when to trust your rheology data? How do you avoid bad data? Is there a checklist? Can you co-plot quantitative experimental boundaries against measured data? This presentation will discuss techniques for identifying and minimizing experimental errors and for…
DetailsRheo-Microscopy: Bridging Rheology, Microstructure & Dynamics The combination of optical microscopy with rheological tests enables direct observation of material structure under shear deformation. This provides critical information that can help understand, predict, and tune the material response under processing, storage, or end-use conditions.
DetailsRheology for Topical and Personal Care Formulations
Rheology of Coatings and Inks Coatings and inks are two of the most common structured fluids that are characterized on rotational rheometers. Rheometers offer experimentalists many opportunities to perform selected tests that can reveal information about the properties of the fluids and allow one to predict the processability of these systems. Of particular interest are…
DetailsOverview Rheology is the study of the flow and deformation of matter. In it, we relate stresses and strains for nearly all materials that we encounter in daily life, including biomaterials and biomedical devices. In this talk we will discuss applications of rheology fundamentals to testing biomaterials and biomedical devices. We will discuss the…
DetailsOverview In this webinar, we address applications of rheology fundamentals in the testing of biomaterials and biomedical devices. The discussion focuses on two approaches to rheological testing – unidirectional testing and dynamic oscillatory testing.
DetailsOverview Discover how the new TRIOS AutoPilot software system enables you to standardize rheology workflow processes and decision-making. Combining thorough user-guidance, automated data processing, and decisional logic, AutoPilot reduces measurement variation, expedites tedious operations, and drives actionable decisions. Learn how you can join other organizations that have implemented these techniques to accelerate efficiency and…
