Industries are on a constant outlook for new climate-friendly soft material solutions needed for the green transition. Food, textiles, pharmaceutics, soft robotics and construction materials all share the characteristics of soft materials. Meaning they can be studied using a rheometer. By upgrading SDU’ rheometer with a modular microscopy unit (new equipment), opens the window to simultaneous measurement of mechanical responses in soft materials and liquids while visualizing their structural changes. This upgrade makes the SDU rheometer one of the few-of-its-kind instruments in Europe and significantly lift a broad spectrum of ongoing soft material research efforts to realize climate reductions.
