Viscosity of Reaction Kinetics

For fluids that exhibit time-dependent viscosity, carefully monitoring the change over time is critical for process development. Materials such as epoxy resins or self-associating peptides require a solid understanding of reaction kinetics to determine work life, forces required, and many other parameters.

Portable, Easy-to-Use Viscometer 

In this application note, we demonstrate the use of microVISC™ to analyze the changes in time-dependent viscosity for amine-cured epoxy samples and self-associating peptides. microVISC™ is able to measure data across a broad viscosity range, allowing for detailed data collection.
