DetailsI love a good experiment in the kitchen, especially when it involves baking and desserts. In celebration of Pi Day, let’s take science and experiments into the kitchen with pie dough and fillings…and a rheometer.
DetailsPharmaceutical development is highly regulated, and for good reason. Potential new products must be rigorously tested to ensure their safety, purity, and performance are acceptable before coming to market. For topical creams, regulations uphold stability lifetime parameters and require identification of any impurities before products reach consumers.
DetailsFrom shiny cars to streak-free walls, we demand a lot from our coatings and paints. A high-quality paint not only needs dazzling color, but also must offer the right material properties for a smooth application and drying process. Consistency is crucial: too thin and the paint will run and drip; too thick and it will clump and not dry evenly. Spray paints and coatings also need to be applied smoothly without clogging the spray device.
DetailsHydrogels are three-dimensional porous strctures that can absorb large amounts of water. They can be made up of polymers, protein, peptides, colloids, surfactants, or lipids.1 Hydrogels’ ability to uptake large amounts of water is useful for many biological applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering. Since a hydrogels’ properties change as it absorbs water, scientists must accurately characterize its behavior at different saturation amounts and in varying conditions.
DetailsPowders 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.
DetailsElectrode slurries are paste-like mixtures made up of active materials, conductive additives, and a binder. The conductive additives must be electrically conducted to the current collector. However, binder is necessary for getting the active materials to stick together and adhere to the current collector.
DetailsInnovation 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.
DetailsIn the world of pharmaceutical formulation and development, the ability to precisely characterize the rheological behavior of drug delivery systems is critical to ensuring efficacy, stability, and processability.

DetailsFrom fresh steak to new phones, the goods we buy are usually wrapped in one thing: plastic. And plastic dominates how we pack and store products for good reason – it is lightweight, cost-efficient, and durable. Plastic helps us transport and receive goods in perfect condition, thus reducing food waste and preventing damaged goods from heading to landfills.
DetailsPolymer rheology plays a critical role in understanding the flow behavior and viscoelastic properties of polymers across the supply chain. Whether in polymer manufacturing, compounding, conversion, or recycling, precise rheological measurements are essential for optimizing processing conditions, ensuring product quality, and preventing defects.
