Rheometers
  • TA Instruments DHR-2
  • TA Instruments AR-G2
  • Anton Paar MCR 301
  • Brookfield viscometers
Accessories
  • Wide selection of measurement geometries: various parallel plate, cone-plate and concentric cylinder geometries with smooth and crosshatched surface finishes (for the TA Instruments and Anton Paar rheometers)
  • Vane-in-cup geometries: for the rheological characterization of samples exhibiting wall slip, large particles and/or sensitive microstructure (for the TA Instruments and Anton Paar rheometers)
  • Interfacial rheology: Measurement of interfacial shear rheological properties (Bicone and Du Noüy Ring geometries available for the TA Instruments rheometers) and dilatational rheological properties (using an Attension Theta tensiometer or a KSV Langmuir-Blodgett Minitrough)
  • Immobilization cell: measurement of the rheological properties, immobilization kinetics, water retention and drying of paper coatings, paints, slurries and other suspensions during vacuum-assisted dewatering (for the Anton Paar rheometer)

  HIGHLIGHTS
New NRS Board Members Elected
We are happy to share that at the last NRS General Meeting on June 11, three new members were elected to the board of the Nordic Rheology Society!

Kasra Amini will now serve as the treasurer of the society and take care of all our finances.

Juho Pokki and Mari Niemelä have been elected as Finnish representative and deputy Finnish representative to strengthen the rheology community in Finland.

A warm welcome to Kasra, Juho and Mari and cheers to a fruitful collaboration!
