Nordic Rheology Society

Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation and flow of matter, which means that rheology in some form enters almost every study of material properties. In the Nordic countries, rheological measurements have become standard techniques in both industrial and academic research. The Nordic Rheology Society has been formed as a meeting ground for engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists engaged in rheology in industry and academia.

Chris Holland is Professor of Materials Science at the University of Sheffield and a leading expert in bio-derived and hierarchical materials. His research focuses on understanding and replicating the structure–property relationships found in natural materials such as silk, collagen, and other biological polymers, with the aim of developing sustainable high-performance materials.
His work combines advanced processing, rheology, and structural characterization to uncover how molecular and mesoscale organization governs macroscopic properties. This includes insights into spinning processes, flow-induced alignment, and the design of biomimetic materials with tailored functionality.

READ MORE

The industry-academia workshop will be organized in one of the parallel sessions during the conference, and it is open to all conference participants. No separate registration is needed.

The aims of the workshop are to:
👉 Create a stronger connection between academia and industry
👉 Enhance dialogue between academic and industrial researchers at NRS and MTDM events
👉 Help to identify industrially relevant research questions that academic researchers may address and work on

The workshop is planned to include small-group discussions between academic and industrial researchers to brainstorm ideas on defined questions/challenges, as well as a collective discussion to gather practical ideas for increased academia-industry collaboration in the future.

Leif Asp is Professor of Lightweight Structures at Chalmers University of Technology and a leading expert in multifunctional composite materials. His research focuses on structural battery composites, where load-bearing materials are designed to simultaneously store electrical energy, enabling entirely new approaches to lightweight system design.
His work bridges mechanics, materials science, and energy storage, and has had significant impact on the development of next-generation structural materials for transport and energy applications.

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.
