The Nordic Rheology Conference (NRC) and the Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials (MTDM) Conference join in Lund, Sweden, as one conference bringing together researchers and industry professionals, covering all aspects of rheology and the mechanics of time-dependent materials.
We welcome contributions ranging from fundamental studies to industrial case studies, spanning experimental, modeling, and application-oriented work. Topics include rheology with applications in polymers, foods, coatings, paper, fibers, and pharmaceuticals, as well as time-dependent phenomena such as frequency or strain rate sensitivity, fatigue, creep, relaxation, etc. Materials of interest include, for example, polymers and composites, soft matter, meta-materials, 3D-printed structures, living tissues, and rubber.
The program will feature a special emphasis on coupling rheology with advanced X-ray and neutron techniques, while continuing to embrace the broad range of topics in rheology and time-dependent material behavior.
The program will include a mix of plenary lectures by the invited lecturers and contributions from NRC delegates. The lectures start on Wednesday, August 26th. The topics will cover all aspects of rheology and time-dependent material behavior, both theory and application, with the plenary lectures representing the spotlight topic.
There will also be a poster session and an exhibition by leading rheology companies. The Annual Business Meeting of NRS as well as the MTDM committee meeting will be held in connection with the conference.
There is a train connection from Kastrup Airport to Lund by Øresund Train (40 min) and you can buy
tickets on-line or from vending machines at the platform. You will also find travel and tickets on the regional travel web
Skånetrafiken and we can recommend their app (
Android,
Apple) for finding connections and to buy tickets. Use the station names “CPH Kastrup Airport”, “Lund C” for Lund train station, and “Lund ESS” for the conference venue. There is a direct tram from Lund C to Lund ESS which takes 14 minutes. It is also possible to use your contactless credit card directly on the ticket machines on the tram and busses in Lund.
