RheoAnalyzer
From measured viscoelastic properties to the structure analyses as MWD and LCB
Accurate results
The quality of fit is evaluated by calculating the percent root mean
square error %RMSE (ref 1).
The data for Cross, Bersted and Neural Net models have the same source.
If data is relatively accurate, it is possible to find the MWD and
other structure properties.

known models and computation levels of RheoAnalyzer. Click on the figure to

Applications
Control tool of polymerization can also be used with continuous on-
line devices.
Easier to generate tailored polymers.
Design aid for extrusion dies and processes.
Data feeder for injection mould design tools such as CAD/CAE/CFD simulation software.
General knowledge of relations and structure.
New winds for measurements
The RheoAnalyzer shows relatively absolute error, by which is possible
to develop measuring methods and customs.
Software can be very sensitive to some measuring methods, such as
start-up procedures.
