Rotational Rheometry for Thermoplastics: Measuring Viscosity and Viscoelastic Properties

Thermoplastics require precise and reliable rheological characterization to ensure consistent processing, quality, and performance. This session explores how rotational rheometry can be used to study molten polymers.

Participants will learn how rheological curves can be used to characterize melting, crystallization, and glass transition. The webinar also explains how to determine the RelaxationWhen a constant strain is applied to a rubber compound, the force necessary to maintain that strain is not constant but decreases with time; this behavior is known as stress relaxation. The process responsible for stress relaxation can be physical or chemical, and under normal conditions, both will occur at the same time. relaxation time of thermoplastics and how this information can help prevent manufacturing issues during processes such as extrusion.

In addition, the session covers how advanced instrument features—such as multi-temperature profiling and automated data workflows—support robust analysis, even under challenging testing conditions.

This webinar is ideal for users involved in polymer development, process optimization, or material quality control.
