Polymers

Our rheometers provide insight into the rheological properties of polymers, from biodegradable medical polymers through to high performance engineering plastics in aerospace. There are many ways that our rheometers can help enhance your productivity or production efficiency. Some examples include:

·        comparison of different materials or batches during material selection or QC

·        understanding how the material will flow and perform in processing

·        determining melting, crystallization or curing behavior whilst obtaining input data for modelling

·        how additives or fillers may influence performance

·        assisting in mold and part design e.g., with input data for plastic flow simulation

·        an insight into molecular weight and degradation

With over 60 years experience in thermal analysis, NETZSCH uniquely offers solutions in both rotational and capillary rheometry. If it is high shear rates and processing simulation you are considering, please take a look at the Rosand high pressure capillary rheometer line.
