Thermal Analysis
Rheology
Measures the melt viscosity, creep, and stress relaxation responses of polymers as functions of time, temperature, and force, using parallel plate or cone-and-plate configurations from subambient to high temperature.
Applications:
- Comparative analysis of viscosity
- Response of thermoplastics to shearing
- Viscosity response over time (curing), frequency, temperature, etc.
- More representative of processing than MFI
