ADVANCED Kriechen (Rheologie)Creep is one of the earliest “controlled stress” rheometer tests that quite literally “creeps” the material, i.e. we measure over a relatively prolonged period the small movement (the creep defined as creep compliance, J) of the sample by applying a small constant stress.Rheology Solutions SUPPORTED by NETZSCH
Unlock Deeper Insights From Your Rheology Data
Seamlessly connect your test data from any Kinexus or Rosand rheometer with advanced analysis and predictions using the IRIS (Interactive Rheology Information System) interactive software.
About IRIS
IRIS (the Interactive Rheology Information System) is a collection of key rheology modeling tools for easily analyzing rheological data. Over 25 years ago, Bingham Medalist and Rheologica Acta Editor Professor Henning Winter and his collaborators pioneered the concept of interactive rheology analysis.
This groundbreaking tool stands alone in its ability to provide a more in-depth understanding of experimental rheology data. IRIS's user-friendly graphical interface with customizable graphs can enhance productivity by providing faster insight into trends and correlations in your data. The ability to overlay experimental data and model predictions provides a broader perspective on material behavior and mechanisms. The guided, stepwise analysis allows for a range of complexities, from basic curve fitting to advanced constitutive modeling, including non-linear viscoelasticity.
Whether you are analyzing polymers, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, foods, or cosmetics, IRIS has a tailored solution for you!
I’m excited to share that NETZSCH has released a software update enabling seamless data export directly into IRIS Rheo-Hub. This creates a fast, integrated path from measurement to insight, bringing IRIS’s advanced analytics directly to NETZSCH rheometer platforms.

Elevating Rheology Capabilities
IRIS Rheology advances material discovery and design by integrating rheological experiments with data-driven analysis, machine learning, modeling, and high-quality visualization to turn complex data into clear insight.
Key advantages or IRIS Rheology are:
- Advanced rheology modeling
Analyze linear and non-linear viscoelastic behavior using 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 spectra, constitutive models, creep compliance, and material functions. - Flexible master curve generation
Perform time–temperature, time–pressure, concentration, curing-state, and Kaelble shifting for reliable master curve construction. - Time-resolved rheology analysis
Study gelation, curing, drying, stability, and structural evolution under realistic processing conditions. - Integrated rheology workflows
Combine rotational and capillary rheology data into unified material models for processing-related predictions. - Data-driven material insight
Transform complex rheology data into clear interpretation through modeling, machine learning, and advanced visualization. - Interactive visualization and reporting
Create customizable plots, overlays, and automated reports for efficient analysis and communication. - Connected and secure data management
Integrate directly with Kinexus/rSpace workflows while organizing and sharing data securely across teams and locations. - Modular and application-focused
Applicable to polymers, battery slurries, emulsions, bitumen, food, life sciences, and more, with optional add-on modules for advanced simulations and techniques.
