How to Accelerate Successful Product Development with Rheology

Rheology is a notoriously complex field, combining mathematics and physics to characterize materials. For inexperienced users, rheology can seem like a massive challenge. Luckily, new technology simplifies rheology down to its core so you can get essential measurements without difficult training, measurements, or calculations.

Linear Viscoelastic Region: Why It’s Crucial in Materials Testing

Our world is brimming with viscoelastic materials: The dough you knead before baking a fresh loaf, the Silly Putty your toddler slaps against the wall, the rubber gaskets that create an airtight seal on an airplane door. Testing those materials by applying controlled deformations (strains) or forces (stresses) at various timescales, temperatures, and/or humidities allows for the optimization of properties and ensures durability and safety.

레오메트리와 레올로지란 무엇일까요?

연구원이 요구르트의 질감을 최적화하거나 접착제의 경화를 연구할 때, 레오메트리를 통해 재료를 이해하고 그 거동을 파악할 수 있습니다. 레오메트리는 힘이 가해질 때 재료나 액체가 겪는 변형의 정도를 측정합니다. 변형력과 변형률, 전단거동의 조합은 재료 변형에 대한 과학인 레올로지의 기초를 구축합니다.
