Coloured polymer pellets

NPL's aims are to develop test methodologies for the rheological properties of materials, covering both a wide range of techniques and materials. Techniques which NPL have developed and contributed to the development of international standard on include:

• Capillary extrusion rheometry
• Rotational rheometry
• Oscillatory rheometry
• Extensional rheometry
• Melt flow rate testing
• PZT piezoelectric device

Areas of rheological research

• Testing of moisture sensitive polymers
• Characterisation of gels for biotechnological applications
• Characterisation of curing systems
• Filled materials, including nano-composites
