Part 2: Efficient and Effective Method Development
IN THIS SESSION
The basic experimental types in rheology are generally grouped into three categories: flow, oscillation, and transient tests. Each basic test group is introduced along with specific information to be gained from each test type and guidelines for appropriate experimental design. Emphasis is also paid to the complimentary nature of the test types, and how one might be used to extend the range of information obtained from another.
