Rheometers
  • 2 x Anton Paar MCR 302
  • Capillary Break-up Rheometer (CaBER)
Accessories
  • Polarized light imaging: allows observation of effects like flow induced crystallization processes of polymers or local shear induced effects as they may occur in liquid crystals
  • Bi-cone geometry for interfacial rheology: enables two-dimensional rheological measurements of interfacial films at the air/liquid and the liquid/liquid interface
  • Small angle laser scattering (SALS): the formation or deconstruction of aggregates in suspensions under shear can be monitored and correlated with the rheological properties

  HIGHLIGHTS

NRC&DRG2025 plenary speaker: Maria Charalambides
We are glad to announce that Prof. Maria Charalambides will give a plenary lecture at the joint Nordic Rheology Conference & DRG Symposium 2025 in Berlin.

Maria Charalambides (PhD, DIC, CEng, FIMechE) is a Professor in Mechanics of Materials at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. She is the current President of British Society of Rheology. Amongst Maria’s research interests is mechanics of soft solids and particulate polymeric composites, rheological characterisation and modelling of soft solids found in various applications such as in foods, plastic bonded and granular explosives, paints and plastics in art conservation, adhesives, foams and mechanical recycling of plastic packaging. She leads the Soft Solids research group. Maria has published over 100 papers and has received funding from both industry and Research Councils UK. Her published research includes material modelling and mechanical characterisation, micromechanics models of particulate filled composites as well as cellular and porous structures, experimental and numerical modelling of industrial food processes as well as oral and gastric processes and fracture and deformation in paint and adhesive coatings.
