Visualizing Polymer Rheology: Insights via Polarized Light Imaging
Unlock new insights into polymer behavior under flow with SIPLI (Shear-Induced Polarized Light Imaging) — a cutting-edge technique that integrates polarized light imaging with rheology. SIPLI enables real-time visualization of molecular orientation, stress distribution, and flow-induced crystallization across the entire sample, offering a comprehensive view of complex flow phenomena. We’ll explore practical applications in polymer research and processing, including shear-induced crystallization, edge fracture detection, and orientation behavior in polymer melts, cellulose dispersions, and thermo-responsive systems.
This webinar is ideal for professionals in polymer R&D, formulation, and materials testing who are looking to connect mechanical behavior with real-time structural insights.
You will learn about:
- The fundamentals of polarized light imaging and birefringence
- How to visualize orientation and crystallization in polymers under shear
- Applications in polymer melts, solutions, and thermo-responsive systems
- Using SIPLI in both shear and extensional rheology setups
