Applications, dynamic rheological analysis

S.2.3.2. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis and Rheology The principles of DMA are equally applicable to liquids. In fact, dynamic mechanical methods are an important way to determine (to a first approximation) flow viscosity data for thermoplastics in the melt state, in lieu of using more expensive and... 

The rheological properties of the material are connected with these physicochemical states. In recent years significant advances have been made in both the theory of viscoelasticity and the related instrumentation. In particular dynamic, mechanical and thermal testing have become quite popular after successful applications to the analysis of polymer systems [26], some elements of which are given in the Appendix A3. 

Mechanical properties of biodegradable polyesters are important for applications such as materials for sutures and bioresorbable screws. The characterization of mechanical properties is carried out by means of tensile test, rheology, and dynamic mechanical temperature analysis. ...
