A rheometer is a powerful instrument that can be used to monitor the gel formation and also to measure the gel strength. Two case studies are discussed regarding the use of a TA Instruments’ rotational rheometer to analyze the properties of different types of hydrogels.
In this note, the processing behavior of two lactose excipients is studied by measuring shear and flowability of milled and spray-dried lactose. Milled lactose was found to have higher cohesion, yield strength, confined and unconfined flow energies when compared to spray-dried lactose.
In this apps note, the properties of PLA are studied under various controlled humidity and temperature conditions.
his application note describes the importance of using thermal and rheological techniques to help fingerprinting the molecular architecture of the PET feedstocks.
This note will detail the use of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and rheology to characterize the glass transition of a polymeric material.
The TA Instruments Powder Rheology Accessory was used with Discovery HR 30 rheometer to perform shear measurements. Duplicate measurements were performed with fresh samples under ambient conditions.
In this application note, a TA Discovery HR rotational rheometer facilitates coating optimization by measuring slurry viscosity over different shear rates that relate to coating speed. Drying kinetics are investigated with a Discovery TGA to yield the most cost-efficient condition.
This paper describes in detail the relevant theory and experimental design of measuring the in-plane thermal diffusivity of high thermal conductivity graphite thin film samples with TA Instruments’ flash diffusivity analyzer DXF 200.
This paper describes in detail the relevant theory and experimental design of measuring the in-plane thermal diffusivity of high thermal conductivity copper thin film samples with a flash diffusivity analyzer.
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.
