Acquisition of Research Equipment: Rheometer for the Study of Polymeric Liquids

资金将用于更新中央流变学实验室，增加最先进的旋转流变仪。该实验室在H. Henning Winter的指导下（自己使用约60%），并与几位教师，他们的学生和访问科学家共享。目前的实验室在几个方面缺乏必要的测量能力（大剪切应变，剪切中的正应力，大应变与小振幅探测相结合，低应力粘弹性测量），这些将由拟议的商用仪器涵盖。

Funds will be used to update the central rheology laboratory by adding a state of the art rotational rheometer. The laboratory is under the direction of H. Henning Winter (own use of about 60%) and is shared with several faculty, their students, and with visiting scientists. The current laboratory lacks essential measuring capability in several respects (large shear strain, normal stress in shear, combined large strain with small amplitude probing, low stress viscoelastic measurements) which will be covered by the proposed commercial instrument.
