DetailsExtensional Rheology & Analytics of Material Characterization OVERVIEW Extensional flows are important to converging and squeezing flows that occur in polymer processing operations such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, film blowing and calendering. Uniaxial extensional flow measurement is particularly useful in polymer characterization because it is the ‘strongest’ flow field one can generate with…
DetailsExtensional Rheology in Polymer Processing Extensional flows dominate many polymer processes, including blow molding, film blowing, fiber spinning, thermoforming and many others. The rheology of polymeric materials under extensional flows can differ significantly from shear flows and it is important to understand this in order to optimize both materials and processes. In this webinar, we…
Details<< View all ARES Rheometer Accessories Extensional Viscosity Fixture (EVF) The most sensitive, easy-to-use system for extensional viscosity of polymers. The Extensional Viscosity Fixture (EVF) is a patented system that facilitates extensional viscosity measurements of highly viscous materials such as polymer melts, dough, and adhesives on the ARES-G2 and ARES-G3 rheometers. Understanding the material behavior…
DetailsRheology Testing Fast Frequency Chirps Fast Frequency Chirps technology transforms how frequency sweeps are performed on the Waters TA Instruments Discovery Hybrid Rheometers and ARES-G3™ Rheometers. By using rapid, continuous frequency-modulated “chirps,” this method enables efficient measurement of a material’s linear viscoelastic properties, capturing dynamic changes such as curing or chemical reactions. Fast Frequency Chirps…
DetailsIf your materials change during testing — curing, gelling, or cross‑linking — traditional step‑by‑step frequency measurements are not fast enough to keep up with rapidly changing properties. Fast frequency chirps offer the same data up to ten times faster than traditional frequency sweeps.
DetailsFasttrack is a dedicated software package optimized for testing and grading asphalt binders using TA Instruments DHR and AR series Dynamic Shear Rheometers (DSRs). Thoughtfully designed with the operator in mind, Fasttrack consists of an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical interface and a full suite of AASHTO and ASTM tests relevant to rheological testing of asphalt…
DetailsOverview Durability testing of Medical Devices is crucial for validation of performance and safety and often becomes an important element of regulatory submissions. As such, devices undergo a range of extensive fatigue characterization to support lifetime predictions for the design, optimization and approval for safe and life-changing device solutions. A variety of common standards-based test…
