Special methods

Combined measuring methods

Rheology is a macroscopic measuring technique that provides information of the sample’s behaviour in the defined conditions. The mechanical characteristics of the material depend on the sample structure at a microscopic level. In order to determine the specific reasons for rheological characteristics, it is common to use combined methods, such as FTIR or microscopes.

Benefits of combined methods:

Same sample processing
Same measuring conditions
Shorter testing times: time saved
Perfect correlation between results

RheoScope module: Rheology and optical microscopy

Rheological measuring and image processing at the same time
Fully integrated microscope for the Haake MARS rheometer
Data and image visualisation using the same software
Analysis of structural changes under shear/deformation
The image analysis also shows the particle size and distribution and a structural analysis
