Rheometers
  • Anton Paar MCR 301
  • Göttfert Rheograph 6000 capillary rheometer
Accessories
  • Magneto-Rheological Device (MRD): used to analyze the influence of a magnetic field on the viscoelastic properties of magnetorheological fluids (MRF) and ferrofluids
  • 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
  • Pressure chamber for the capillary rheometer: can be used to simulate different pressure drops, thereby measuring the viscosity close to process conditions

  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!
