Battery Rheology: Selecting the Best Rheometer for Battery Material Testing

Batteries & Battery Materials, Rheology

In battery development, precise rheological measurements are critical for optimizing material performance, ensuring uniform coatings, and enhancing conductivity. Whether working with cathode, anode, or electrolyte materials, selecting the right rheometer is essential. TA Instruments offers two industry-leading solutions: the Discovery Core Rheometer and the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer. This guide helps battery scientists determine which instrument best suits their needs.

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) for Binding Characterization in Pharmaceutical Research

Microcalorimetry, Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical research and discovery rely on accurate characterization of molecular interactions to develop effective and safe drugs. Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) is a gold-standard technique that provides critical insights into binding affinity, thermodynamics, and stoichiometry—essential components in Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) studies.

How Rheology Helps Personal Care Products Meet Consumer Expectations

Blog Applications, Blog Techniques, Personal Care & Household Products, Rheology

From smooth moisturizers to voluminous shampoo, the products that support everyday self-care routines are the result of the scientific interplay between deformation and flow. The personal care industry (and your morning routine) is only made possible because of rheology – the study of how a material moves (flow) or changes under varying degrees of stress (deformation).
