Rheometers
  • Anton Paar MCR 301
Accessories
  • UV curing system: allows the investigation of rheological properties during UV-initiated curing reactions e.g. in inks, glues and coatings
  • Pressure cell: can be used to simulate process conditions, measure the effect of pressure on rheological properties, or prevent sample evaporation above the boiling point
  • Immobilization cell: used to investigate the immobilization kinetics and water retention of paper coatings
  • SER fixture for extensional rheology: provides information about molecular structure, branching, temperature stability, shrinkage, relaxations, and brittleness as well as the adhesion and peel strength of films and fibers

  HIGHLIGHTS

The joint conference of the Nordic Rheology Society and the German Rheology Society took place in Berlin, Germany
For the first time ever, the Nordic Rheology Conference was held outside the Nordic countries. This was due to joining forces with the Deutsche Rheologische Gesellschaft (DRG), which resulted in a joint conference of our two societies in Berlin, Germany!

Around 100 delegates from academia, industry and governmental institutions joined conference and its inspiring talks, interactive poster session and exhibition.

Highlights were without a doubt the keynote lecture by Maria Charalambides on enabling tools for design of better, healthier and tastier food products, as well as the two NRS award lectures presented by Mats Stading and Julie Frost Dahl. Not to forgot the Industry-Academia Workshop.

We would very much like to thank our sponsors and exhibitors for supporting the conference: Anton Paar, Tetra Pak, Centre for Industrial Rheology, GÖTTFERT Werkstoff-Prüfmaschinen GmbH, OLEINITEC NORDIC AB, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Incipientus Ultrasound Flow Technologies AB, NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing, and TA Instruments.

The Nordic Rheology Conference 2026 will be held in Lund, Sweden, with a special focus on scattering techniques.
