DetailsInterfacial Rheology A patented system for measuring rheology and viscoelasticity of air-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces. DescriptionTechnologyApplications Rheometers are typically used for measuring the bulk or three-dimensional material properties. However, many materials such as pharmaceuticals, foods, personal care products and coatings are often composed of liquid-liquid or gas-liquid interfaces with distinct rheological properties. In these cases,…
DetailsElectrorheology (ER) Accessory Electrorheology (ER) fluids are suspensions of extremely fine non-conducting particles in an electrically insulating fluid, which show dramatic and reversible rheological changes when the electric field is applied.
