Rheological characterisation of a highly filled curing system using a disposable extrusion rheometer

The rheological properties of highly filled curing systems are difficult to characterise due to both their highly filled nature and that they are strongly time dependant. Such materials can exhibit complex flow behaviour that include slip and rapidly increasing viscosity with time. In particular, characterisation by extrusion can be practically problematic as the material will inevitably set inside the instrument. The development of a disposable...
