Modular Microscope Accessory for the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer
The Modular Microscope Accessory (MMA) for the DHR enables complete flow visualization, including counter-rotation, with simultaneous rheological measurements.
An Introduction To High Pressure Rheology
An Introduction To High Pressure Rheology High pressure rheology explores phenomena that are not accessible at ambient laboratory conditions. Three of the advantages of using a pressure rheometer cell include a controlled environment for volatile fluids, saturating fluids with soluble constituents, and exploring new phase space using a combination of temperature and pressure.

Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA) for Elastomer and Compound Development and Quality Control
Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA) for Elastomer and Compound Development and Quality Control The Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA) is an important tool for developing – and controlling the reliable manufacture of – elastomers and compounds. The RPA can provide far more information than traditional rubber testing methods such as the MDR or Mooney viscometer. In this…
Dile Holton, Ph.D.: Characterization of Drug Binding Activity and Biopharmaceutical Stability
Dile Holton, Ph.D.: Characterization of Drug Binding Activity and Biopharmaceutical Stability This webinar is focused on enthalpy screening, a new and recently published ITC technique that is showing promise for rapidly and accurately characterizing the binding enthalpy of new drugs or biotherapeutics. Rapid and accurate characterization of biopharmaceuticals is essential for the early selection of…
Randy H. Ewoldt: Experimental Challenges of Shear Rheology, How to Avoid Bad Data
Randy H. Ewoldt: Experimental Challenges of Shear Rheology, How to Avoid Bad Data How do you know when to trust your rheology data? How do you avoid bad data? Is there a checklist? Can you co-plot quantitative experimental boundaries against measured data? This presentation will discuss techniques for identifying and minimizing experimental errors and for…
Troy Nickel: An Introduction to Fatigue Testing
Troy Nickel: An Introduction to Fatigue Testing Material or structural failures are typically the result of two types of loading modes: a single (static) load that results in failure or a repeated (cyclic) load that causes the material or structure to fatigue over time. When designing materials or structures it is important to understand which…
Prof. Mariano Paganelli: Optical Contactless Measurement of Shape- and Dimensional Changes at High Temperature.
Prof. Mariano Paganelli: Optical Contactless Measurement of Shape- and Dimensional Changes at High Temperature. In this webinar, Prof. Paganelli shows how the innovative technologies adopted by TA Instruments’ new Optical Dilatometry Platform (ODP 868) address the requirements of laboratory scientists and manufacturing managers of traditional and advanced ceramics. Additionally, these technologies prove beneficial for power plants…
