This application note discusses how to use rheology to evaluate the influence of graphite particle size and particle shape on the rheological behavior of a battery slurry.
DetailsApplication Note Rheological Evaluation of Battery Slurries with Different Graphite Particle Size and Shape Keywords: Rheology, Battery, Battery slurry, particle size, particle shape, viscosity, viscoelasticity, thixotropy, yield, Discovery Hybrid Rheometer (DHR) Battery slurry processing is one of the key steps in battery manufacturing that can significantly influence battery performance. The slurry suspension includes multiple components…
DetailsHere, a standard operating procedure (SOP) for determining the quality of collagen hydrogel was developed using oscillatory rheology with a DHR-2 rheometer.

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.
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.
DetailsDuring 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.
DetailsRheology 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…
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.
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.
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.
