Rheometers
  • TA Instruments DHR-2
  • TA Instruments AR-G2
  • Anton Paar MCR 301
  • Brookfield viscometers
Accessories
  • Wide selection of measurement geometries: various parallel plate, cone-plate and concentric cylinder geometries with smooth and crosshatched surface finishes (for the TA Instruments and Anton Paar rheometers)
  • Vane-in-cup geometries: for the rheological characterization of samples exhibiting wall slip, large particles and/or sensitive microstructure (for the TA Instruments and Anton Paar rheometers)
  • Interfacial rheology: Measurement of interfacial shear rheological properties (Bicone and Du Noüy Ring geometries available for the TA Instruments rheometers) and dilatational rheological properties (using an Attension Theta tensiometer or a KSV Langmuir-Blodgett Minitrough)
  • Immobilization cell: measurement of the rheological properties, immobilization kinetics, water retention and drying of paper coatings, paints, slurries and other suspensions during vacuum-assisted dewatering (for the Anton Paar rheometer)

  HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract deadline for NRC-MTDM: April 15
The deadline for the 35th Nordic Rheology Conference & 14th International Conference on Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials (NRC × MTDM) is extended to April 15. The original deadline coincided with another rheology event, so now there is good time for all to submit an abstract.
