I was kind of shocked and amazed by a recent publication in NanoLetters. It seems that viscosity measurements are still difficult. In my ignorance, I had assumed that this was a solved problem. And, ...

Viscometers are used by the food industry to ensure the consistency and quality of liquid foods. Zwick Roell claims its new tester provides what the company claims is an economical alternative to ...

Viscosity is a key property of fluids, influencing diffusion, mobility and quite a few other features. There are many methods for measuring macroscopic viscosity, but determining microscopic viscosity ...

Viscosity is one of the standard physical properties used for qualifying many industrial products. Various types of viscometers are available, of which the rotational viscometer is the most efficient ...

Sound waves can measure viscosity on the fly. Though viscosity is the degree to which a fluid resists flow, it is more specifically a measure of a fluid's molecular friction. It can be a useful ...

Pharmaceutical companies have increasingly focused on developing high-concentration protein therapeutics that enable patients to treat themselves at home by self injection. However, the formulation of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In medical applications, artificial micro/nanorobots have gained a lot of attention over the last decade due to their promise to behave as ingestible vehicles of drug delivery to ...

Condition monitoring specialists, WearCheck, recently launched a quick, cost-effective viscosity test kit known as the WearCheck Rheo-stick. Technical manager for WearCheck Steven Lumley, elaborates, ...

The measurement of an oil’s resistance to flow is known as its viscosity. Usually, with a temperature increase, we can expect viscosity to diminish, and reduce with a temperature decrease. Temperature ...

One warm afternoon a few years back I received a call from a customer who was experiencing difficulty with a new machine. He was having fits trying to spray an asphalt-based, high-aggregate loaded ...
