Rheological Testing - Consulting and Research
	Characterisation of material in flow
		We provide consulting , research and development services in the area of rheology, morphology, interface science, emulsion stability, mechanical behavior, and structure-rheology relationship.
	Shear Rheology
		Equipment: Paar Physica MCR300 Rheometric Scientific ARES Rheometric Scientific DSR Rheometric Scientific RSAII Band Shear Apparatus
	Extensional Flow tests:
		Equipment: Rheometric Scientific RFX Cross-Slot flow cell Four-Roll Mill
	Online Ultrasound Flow Profiling:
		Equipment: MetFlow UVP Setup with flow loop
	Rheo-Optical Investigations:
		Optical methods probe conformation, dynamics and transient behavior (e.g. gelling) of complex materials. Optical techniques are often the most appropriate for probing polymer dynamics because they are sensitive, noninvasive, and suited for following millisecond relaxation processes. Equipment: Rheo-Optics (Birefringence, Dichroism, Small Angle Light Scattering) Static & Dynamic Light Scattering
	Various other rheological test devices are also available within the Swiss Rheocenter (J. Meissner, H.C. Öttinger, M. Kröger, T. Schweizer) For more information please contact either me (peter.fischer@ilw.agrl.ethz.ch) or Erich J. Windhab (windhab@ilw.agrl.ethz.ch).
