Device Name / Brand / Model
• Name: Rheometer
• Brand: Anton Paar
• Model: MCR 302

Overview
A rheometer is an advanced analytical instrument used to measure rheological properties such as flow behavior, elasticity, and plastic deformation. By characterizing viscous and elastic responses, it supports both structural characterization and application-oriented performance evaluation of materials.

Purpose / Output
• Measurement of viscosity, viscoelastic moduli, and flow behavior of samples
• Structural characterization and formulation/performance evaluation
• Analysis of rheological response under controlled shear rate, frequency, and normal force conditions

Application Areas
• Polymer and hydrogel analysis: monitoring crosslinking processes and evaluating mechanical robustness
• Coating materials: simulation of coating processes and optimization of rheological behavior and application parameters
• Pharmaceutical formulations: measuring viscosity, flow profile, and stability of semi-solid and liquid products
• Biomaterials research: modeling and analysis of tissue-like material structures and properties

Highlights
• Broad torque range enabling both ultra-sensitive low-torque measurements and high-torque applications
• High angular velocity and frequency capability suitable for dynamic rheological testing
• ±50 N normal force range supporting a variety of sample conditions and measurement geometries
