Method
The rotational rheology is a measurement method for determining the flow and deformation properties of materials using rotational movements. A sample is placed between two plates or in a cylindrical measuring system (e.g. a cone-plate system) and subjected to a rotating shear force. By analyzing the resulting shear StressStress is defined as a level of force applied on a sample with a well-defined cross section. (Stress = force/area). Samples having a circular or rectangular cross section can be compressed or stretched. Elastic materials like rubber can be stretched up to 5 to 10 times their original length.stress and shear rate, important rheological parameters such as viscosity, elasticity and yield point can be determined. This method is particularly useful for the characterization of liquids, gels, pastes and soft solids in various scientific and industrial applications.

- Exceptional 230 mm vertical travel for maximum user access and setup flexibility
- Vertical speed range from 0.1 μm/s to 35 mm/s
- Controllable speed and normal force profiles, including linear, exponential, and limited profiles
- Gap resolution of 0.1 μm over full range
- Optimal sample loading for all material types, from sensitive structures to rapid Curing (Crosslinking Reactions)Literally translated, the term “crosslinking“ means “cross networking”. In the chemical context, it is used for reactions in which molecules are linked together by introducing covalent bonds and forming three-dimensional networks.curing systems
- High sensitivity and rapid response from novel StrainStrain describes a deformation of a material, which is loaded mechanically by an external force or stress. Rubber compounds show creep properties, if a static load is applied.strain gauge design for normal force
- Ultra-fast 5 kHz data update rate for all variables, synchronized with rotational and temperature data
