Measurement of dynamic behaviors

The process or application behaviors of industrial products and materials—powders, emulsions, gels, inks, foams, or resins—are often poorly described by static characteristics or scientific indicators (rheological, tribological, physical, etc.). In particular, the phenomena of aging, friability, shrinkage, stability, caking, exudation, moisture absorption, or phase shift require specific descriptors.

At Rheonis, we have developed advanced dynamic measurements to limit uncertainties related to the evolution of materials. We analyze and quantify critical phenomena in order to secure your processes and improve the performance of your products.

Why dynamic behaviors are important for your developments

Being able to measure the dynamic behavior of your formulations and materials is crucial for mastering product/process couplings in real situations, particularly for:

  • Identify critical phenomena and their magnitude
  • Anticipate behaviors of your products in industrialization, production or application
  • Evaluate and determine solutions adapted to your constraints
