Research Equipment: Rheological Mechanical Spectrometer forMultiphase and Polymer Systems

一个流变光谱仪正在获得更新和扩展 流变测量在各种工程流动目前 正在研究中。 液体加工科学的发展 结晶聚合物流体，其用于制造具有很大 高温下的机械强度，用于浓缩 悬浮液用于制造复合材料，用于凝胶， 在处理过程中可能发生相变的系统需要 解决了一系列有价值的科学和工程 挑战 这些措施包括测量之间的仔细耦合 相关流变特性和流体响应研究 在各种工程感兴趣的流动配置中。

A rheological spectrometer is being obtained to update and extend rheological measurements in a variety of engineering flows currently under study. Development of a processing science for liquid crystalline polymeric fluids used to fabricate solids having great mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, for concentrated suspensions used to fabricate composite materials, for gels, and for systems in which phase changes may occur during processing, requires resolution of a series of worthwhile scientific and engineering challenges. These include a careful coupling between measurement of the relevant rheological properties and studies of the fluid response in a variety of flow configurations of engineering interest.
