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

Prof. Mats Stading receives the Karl Clason Rheology Award 2025
We are happy to announce that Prof. Mats Stading is this year's recipient of the Karl Clason Rheology Award!

This award is given to a person who has made outstanding contributions to the basic understanding of rheological phenomena and/or the application of rheology.

Professor Mats Stading has his main research activities at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and is also Adjunct Professor at Industrial and Materials Science at Chalmers University of Technology, both located in Gothenburg, Sweden. He has an MSc degree in Engineering Physics and has then widened his scope with a PhD in biophysics and a post-doc in tissue engineering at MIT. Since then, he is back in Gothenburg for positions at Chalmers and RISE.

Professor Stading is internationally active leading research projects in Europe, Africa and Asia. Within rheology, he has been active in the Nordic Rheology Society board since the start of the Society and was also President and board member of the European Society of Rheology.

His research involves rheology applied to biopolymer fluids, gels and melts. Current hot topics include plant protein melts for meat replacement and foods with safe swallowing for seniors.

Professor Stading will present his award lecture "From fluid to solid research" at the joint Nordic Rheology Conference and DRG Symposium in Berlin in June 2025: https://nordicrheologysociety.org/Home/Nrc

Congratulations to Prof. Mats Stading for this fantastic achievement!
