What is a Rheometer?

Rheology is the study of the flow and deformation of matter. Rheometry is a method of evaluating the rheological properties of a substance, and a rheometer is an evaluation device. Various characteristics can be quantified by applying rotational or vibrational motion to the sample set in the leometer and measuring the stress generated at that time. By exchanging the jig of the sample set part according to the type of sample, various samples from liquid to solid can be measured.

Application of Rheometer

Quantification of texture such as texture and ease of use of cosmetics Dispersity of paint, evaluation of sedimentation property, evaluation of coating property, Evaluation of polymer melting behavior and molding processability Evaluation of curing behavior of thermosetting adhesives and UV curable resins Liquidity evaluation in the manufacturing process Temperature-dependent changes in physical properties As you can see, leometers are used in various fields. The viscosity and viscoelastic properties obtained by measurement are used not only as indicators for research and development but also for quality control. In addition, in basic research fields such as polymer chemistry, by considering the molecular structure from the measurement results obtained by the leometer, it is possible to search for highly functional materials and materials and products with high safety and effectiveness. increase.
