Making Effective Rheological Measurements: Enhancing Data Quality and Accuracy
Rheology is the study of flow and/or deformation of a wide range of materials, ranging from low viscosity solutions to highly elastic steel alloys. How one characterizes the visco-elastic balance of a material is through an array of techniques that poke and prod the sample and monitor its response back. From this response general rheological principles/theory can be applied to convert this response into rheologically relevant data. However, theory is only one half of the equation in acquiring meaningful data. The other, more crucial aspect, is to be able to look at the results and distinguish if the results are actually meaningful or not. This webinar will help to provide a road map in terms of improving data quality as well as steps to eliminate measurement artifacts.
James Eickhoff is the principal application engineer for the rheology division as a member of the Advanced Technical Support Center at Anton Paar USA. He has over 20 years of theoretical and experimental rheology training, including the last 17 years with Anton Paar having guided current and prospective customers on the use of rheological techniques in their industrial and academic research. James earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technological University and Clemson University, respectively.
