Correlating the Mechanical and Chemical Properties: Introduction to Rheo-Raman Techniques for Polymers
Rheology is the study of flow and/or deformation of a wide range of materials, in particular polymers. On top of the mechanical response, provided by rheology, additional techniques such a Raman spectroscopy can be enveloped in combination to provide both a chemical and mechanical structure.
This webinar will provide further insight in how combining rheology with Raman spectroscopy can provide additional information in the polymer industry in regards to chemical reaction, crystallization, as well as thermal stability to name a few.
Presenter: James P. Eickhoff Jr.
James Eickhoff is the principal application engineer for the rheology division as a member of the Advanced Technical Support Center at Anton Paar USA. He has over 20 years of theoretical and experimental rheology training, including the last 17 years with Anton Paar having guided current and prospective customers on the use of rheological techniques in their industrial and academic research. James earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technological University and Clemson University, respectively.
