DESCRIPTION
Track molecular structures as a function of stress, strain and temperature with the RheoRaman Module for Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ MARS™ Rheometers. This module combines rheological measurements – to analyze how a substance behaves under stress or strain – with simultaneous Raman spectroscopy – to help explain why it behaves that way by providing information on the sample’s micro-structure. Running rheological and spectroscopy tests on the same sample simultaneously allows you to correlate the data without any doubt and saves time. A typical application for these combined techniques would be the chemical analysis of polymers. The hyphenated technique would provide insight into molecular changes such as the breaking of bonds, crystallinity, etc. It’s useful for temperature-dependent analysis of emulsions as well as gels, pastes and other polymeric material.
