Rheometers
Anton Paar MCR 301
Accessories
UV curing system: allows the investigation of rheological properties during UV-initiated curing reactions e.g. in inks, glues and coatings
Pressure cell: can be used to simulate process conditions, measure the effect of pressure on rheological properties, or prevent sample evaporation above the boiling point
Immobilization cell: used to investigate the immobilization kinetics and water retention of paper coatings
SER fixture for extensional rheology: provides information about molecular structure, branching, temperature stability, shrinkage, relaxations, and brittleness as well as the adhesion and peel strength of films and fibers
The Nordic and German Rheology Societies will jointly host a Conference in Berlin in June. Abstract submision is open and the deadline is January 31. More information and instructions are found on conference web page.
