Temperature Control - Peltier Systems (-40 ºC to 200 ºC)
Peltier systems are the temperature control units of choice for a broad range of applications from lubricants and food to hotmelts and even polymer melts. The systems feature high heating and cooling rates and excellent temperature accuracy, which is an essential requirement for reliable rheological measurements. Anton Paar offers both a concentric cylinder and a parallel plate system with Peltier temperature control. The parallel plate system can be completed with a patented Peltier hood to ensure virtually gradient-free sample temperature over the entire temperature range.

Adhesives, Hotmelts, Sealants and Plastisols - Thermal behavior of a hotmelt adhesive
The rheological behavior of an adhesive (PSA = Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) has to be detected using a single measuring system on a large temperature scale. This range should go from low temperatures, when the polymer has a solid-state, rigid consistency, up to high temperatures, when the polymer ...

Rheological characterization of paper coatings
When applying paper coatings via applicator rolls the aim is to produce a homogenous and uniform coating thickness. To achieve this the paper coatings need to have certain physical-chemical properties. The surface tension has a great influence on the behavior during coating, as do the internal ...

Rheology: worth a second look?
In this article three test methods have been described which enable a near complete rheological assessment of all kinds of dispersions: a) the rotational test as flow and viscosity curves to analyse the flow behaviour, b) the oscillatory test as amplitude and frequency sweep tests for the ...
