Rheology Part 1 - Introduction

In this video tutorial on Rheology Part 1, we review the following topics – rheology defined, the essential elements of rheology, material differences of various liquids and solids, and an initial understanding of the term viscosity.

Rheology Part 2 - Deformation Forces

In this video tutorial, Rheology Part 2, we review deformation forces and gives an in-depth understanding of the term viscosity.

Rheology Part 3 - Flow Profiles

In this video tutorial, Rheology Part 3, we review the Flow Profiles of various materials to demonstrate the viscosity/shear relationship of Newtonian, pseudoplastic, dilatent, and thixotropic fluids.

Rheology Part 4 - Chemistry

In this video tutorial, Rheology Part 4, we review the chemistry and mechanism of various rheological additives including castor oil derivatives, polyamides, and HEURs.
