Ferry, J. John Wiley & Sons, 3 rd edition 1 Slide 3 Rheology Study of flow of matter in liquid state as well as soften solid state in which material responds as a plastic rather than deforming elastically in response to applied force. * Viscosity (measure of resistance to deformation) Elasticity (tendency of solid material to return to original shape after deformation) Rheometer * Schowalter (1978) Mechanics of non-newtonian fluid pergamon 2 Slide 4 Types of rheometer Shear stress/ shear strain based Capillary rheometer Rotational cylinder Cone and plate (homogenous sample) Plate and plate (heterogeneous sample) Extensional stress based e.g. Rheoten (fiber spinning) Capillary break 3 Slide 5 Typical shear rate ranges 4 Slide 6 Instrumental: Rheometer Lower Plate Upper Plate Environmental test chamber 5 Discovery Hybrid HR2 Rheometer Slide 7 Working Principle Strain Shear stress Shear Viscosity (Pa. S)= Shear stress / Shear rate = (G*) (Time) 6 Slide 8 Slide 9 Principle of oscillatory measurement 7 Slide 10 Step 1. Amplitude sweep 8 Slide 11 Step 2. Frequency sweep 9 Slide 12 Step 3.
