DetailsInterfacial Rheology A patented system for measuring rheology and viscoelasticity of air-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces. Description Technology Applications Rheometers are typically used for measuring the bulk or three-dimensional material properties. However, many materials such as pharmaceuticals, foods, personal care products and coatings are often composed of liquid-liquid or gas-liquid interfaces with distinct rheological properties. In…
DetailsElectrorheology (ER) Accessory Electrorheology (ER) fluids are suspensions of extremely fine non-conducting particles in an electrically insulating fluid, which show dramatic and reversible rheological changes when the electric field is applied. Description Features Applications Electrorheology (ER) fluids are suspensions of extremely fine non-conducting particles in an electrically insulating fluid, which show dramatic and reversible rheological…
