Viscosity is a key property of fluids, influencing diffusion, mobility and quite a few other features. There are many methods for measuring macroscopic viscosity, but determining microscopic viscosity ...

I was kind of shocked and amazed by a recent publication in NanoLetters. It seems that viscosity measurements are still difficult. In my ignorance, I had assumed that this was a solved problem. And, ...

Pharmaceutical companies have increasingly focused on developing high-concentration protein therapeutics that enable patients to treat themselves at home by self injection. However, the formulation of ...

In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it is measured and the applications of viscometry in the food and beverage industry. When a force or stress is applied to a fluid, it flows, ...

Discover Lovis 2001, a one-of-a-kind rolling-ball microviscometer that operates on Hoeppler's falling ball principle. This falling ball viscometer has an adjustable measurement angle, which ensures ...

Researchers have designed a method which indirectly measures the viscosity of glass - something that required unfeasible observation times at human scale - based on its elastic properties. The results ...

Viscometers are used by the food industry to ensure the consistency and quality of liquid foods. Zwick Roell claims its new tester provides what the company claims is an economical alternative to ...

Rheological experiments are performed either by applying a small stress to the sample and measuring the strain developed or by applying a fixed amount of strain and measuring the developed stress.

For producers of oil-based cosmetic products, the viscosity is an essential parameter to be determined. The pure oils are used as raw materials and further checked in quality control, transported, ...

Blood viscosity is a measurement of the thickness and stickiness of an individual’s blood. It is a direct measure of the ability of blood to flow through the blood vessels. It determines how much ...
