Extensional rheology examines the response of polymer solutions to uniaxial stretching flows, a phenomenon intrinsic to many industrial and natural processes. In these systems, the interplay of ...

Extensional flows dominate many polymer processes, including blow molding, film blowing, fiber spinning, thermoforming and many others. The rheology of polymeric materials under extensional flows can ...

This is because the plastic is constantly expanding or stretching in those processes. Two polymers may have identical shear flow behavior, but they could exhibit different extensional flow behavior ...

The Thermo Haake Caber 1 extensional rheometer measures elongational properties of fluids such as polymer solutions, suspensions, melts, adhesives, emulsions and other materials. The unit analyzes the ...

Rheology is the study of the flow and deformation of materials under applied forces, covering both liquids and solids. It examines how materials respond to stress, strain or flow, revealing ...
