Overview In this tech tip, learn how to use the Double Wall Ring (DWR) interfacial accessory on TA Instruments HRX rheometers to perform quantitative interfacial measurements, complete essential calibrations, accurately position the ring at the liquid interface, and optimize oscillatory testing conditions.
DetailsThermal analysis is a branch of material science that studies how a material’s properties change with temperature. From safe medicines to durable airplanes, countless products are made possible through thermal analysis. Understanding a material’s behavior under different temperatures is crucial for the successful design, processing, end use, and recyclability of completed products.
DetailsOverview In this tech tip, learn how to apply the Cox-Merz rule in Trios software to predict high-shear polymer melt behavior from frequency sweep data and validate the results against steady-state flow measurements.
