Rheological analysis laboratory - Polymer rheology

Polymer rheology is the study of the deformation and flow of materials under the effect of a stress and a temperature. Thus, depending on the nature of materials (polymers, powders, oils, resins, paints …) and their properties, the reactions with their environment can be infinite. It is therefore essential for manufacturers to analyze the ability of the material to flow in order to exploit it in the best way in the production process.

Indeed, understanding the rheology of polymers is important for the development and manufacture of many products, such as plastics, rubbers, adhesives, coatings and composite materials. It is also important in fields such as medicine, where the rheological properties of polymers play a key role in the development of materials for implants and medical devices.
