Malvern Experts at International Congress on Rheology
28 July 2008: Malvern, UK: Applications and product specialists from Malvern Instruments are participating as both exhibitors and speakers at the XVth International Congress on Rheology, which takes place in Monterey, California from 3-8 August 2008.
The Congress convenes every four years and brings together the world's leading rheologists to present advances and developments in this field. As part of the exposition that runs alongside the International Congress, Malvern will show the latest products from its range of rheometers and viscometers. Contributing to the congress, Dr Torsten Remmler, Rheology Specialist Malvern Europe, will present a paper detailing work performed in conjunction with researchers from the Institute for Dynamic Material Testing at the University of Ulm in Germany.
Dr Remmler's presentation is entitled 'Linear viscoelasticity on short timescales: Real-frequency mechanical spectroscopy up to kHz range'. It will cover the advantages and limits of classical oscillatory rheometry, and introduces the handling and principle of operation of a high frequency option adapted for a commercial rheometer. Typical examples for real frequency spectra on soft matter, such as weak gels, polymer solutions and suspensions, will be shown.
With a broad range of materials characterization technologies in its portfolio, and a deep understanding of both rheology and particle characterization, Malvern is uniquely positioned to help its customers understand and exploit the relationships between particle and rheological parameters.

About Malvern Instruments
Malvern Instruments provides a range of complementary materials characterization tools that deliver inter-related measurements reflecting the complexities of particulates and disperse systems, nanomaterials and macromolecules. Analytical instruments from Malvern are used in the characterization of a wide variety of materials, from industrial bulk powders to the latest nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules. A broad portfolio of innovative technologies is combined with intelligent, user-friendly software. These systems deliver industrially relevant data enabling our customers to make the connection between micro (such as particle size) and macro (bulk) material properties (rheology) and chemical composition (chemical imaging).
Particle size distribution, particle shape information, zeta potential, molecular weight, chemical composition, and bulk materials properties can all be determined with instruments from the Malvern range. The company's laboratory, at-line, on-line and in-line solutions are proven in sectors as diverse as cement production and pharmaceutical drug discovery.
Headquartered in Malvern, UK, Malvern Instruments has subsidiary organizations in all major European markets, North America, China, Korea and Japan, a joint venture in India, a global distributor network and applications laboratories around the world. www.malvern.com
