Universal Extensional Fixture and Sentmanat Extension Rheometer: UXF & SER

Description

The Universal Extensional Fixture UXF and the Sentmanat Extension Rheometer SER turn the MCR rheometers into platforms for extensional rheology investigations. The systems allow extensional measurements to be performed on filled and unfilled polymers, melts, adhesives, and food systems over a large temperature and deformation range. Extensional measurements provide information about molecular structure, branching, temperature stability, shrinkage, relaxations, and brittleness, as well as the adhesion and peel strength of films and fibers.
