RheoOptics - Rheo-SALS Small-Angle Light Scattering
Small-angle light scattering (SALS) is a well-established technique for structure analysis in the size range of the applied laser's wavelength. The combination of rheology and SALS (Rheo-SALS) allows the investigation of shear-dependent structural changes or crystallization through by analyzing the scattering patterns of the laser light. The greatest benefit of Rheo-SALS by Anton Paar is its wide scattering angle, allowing structure measurements in a large size range.Systems
Technical highlights
- Light scattering experiments for SALS structure analysis simultaneous to rheological measurements
- Large scattering angle range (scattering vector range)
- Modular, open design consisting of laser diode, CCD camera, optics and polarizers
- Certified laser safety concept
- Full integration with the RheoPlus software allows image or video recording during the measurement for later image analysis
Systems
- SALS 90: Liquid-temperature-controlled parallel plate and concentric
cylinder system for measurements up to 90 °C, optics prevent multiple scattering in concentric cylinder measurements
- SALS 300 (high-temperature SALS): Electrically heated parallel plate system with hood for gradient-free measurements up to +300 °C
Image recording and display
- RheoPlus software controls both rheometer and CCD camera
- Automated image/video recording during measurement
- Direct alignment of images and videos to rheological data

Identification of flow and structure properties by combining small angle light scattering (SALS) and rheology
Rheological measurements provide information about the macroscopic behaviour, but cannot give further information about the inner structure of a sample. The macroscopic behaviour depends usually on the microscopic structure of a sample. Conclusions from rheological measurements to the microstructure ...
