Combining rheometry with certain other techniques can provide valuable information by correlating mechanical properties with structural and morphological changes. See numerous application-specific examples in our compendium Discover New Correlations: The benefits of rheometry hyphenated with spectroscopic and optical techniques.
Learn about rheological analyses hyphenated with FTIR, Raman, and microscopy in areas such as:
- Correlating mechanical properties with structural/morphological changes based on polymer type and experimental conditions
- Pre-screening to identify optimal combinations of polymers and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in hot melt extrusion (HME) processes for solid dosage forms
- Analyzing crystallization processes in API formulations for HME to ensure structural integrity
- Monitoring reaction kinetics during UV curing processes
- Tracking emulsion stability (with dependence on time, temperature and flow history)
