Applied Rheology – Thomas G. Mezger

Description

Applied Rheology by Thomas G. Mezger is an accessible and authoritative guide for anyone working with rotational and oscillation rheometers. This specialised nonfiction title falls within the category of engineering and materials science and is especially valuable to those in industries such as construction, polymers, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and food production. Mezger takes what can often be a highly technical subject and turns it into a clear, engaging journey through the principles and applications of rheology.

The book introduces readers to Joe Flow, a fictional guide who leads them down Rheology Road, beginning with the behaviour of ideally viscous liquids, moving through viscoelastic materials, and concluding with ideally elastic solids. Along the way, Mezger provides practical tips and expert insights for achieving accurate and meaningful measurements in the lab or production environment. With its blend of technical detail and conversational tone, Applied Rheology demystifies the complexities of flow and deformation behaviour in various materials.

Perfect for both newcomers seeking a solid foundation and seasoned professionals in need of a practical reference, Applied Rheology remains a valuable resource for anyone working in fields where material consistency and flow behaviour are critical.
