Kinexus Expert System Rheometry Promotes Formulation Success

Malvern Instruments has launched the Kinexus rheometry platform, which is used to develop and apply design rules and also allows a formulation or product microstructure to be made.

Industry manufactures can now have access to articles through internet, which describe the efficient application of performance-controlling design rules by using expert system rheometry.

The article entitled ‘Expert system rheometry’ and was published in materialstoday in September. Written by Samiul Amin, rheologist from the Novel Measurements Group at Malvern Instruments and Steve Carrington, rheology product manager. The paper presents a more straightforward route towards engineering the next generation of complex and nanostructured fluids, reported PharmaceuticalOnline.

The paper explains how Kinexus tackles the rheometry challenge. It also includes application examples for the rheological characterisation of associative telechelic polymers typically used as structuring and thickening agents.

Kinexus is designed to meet rheology needs in research sectors, industries and application areas. It allows detailed analysis of the rheology of materials: from liquids to soft solids, processability to product performance, temperature to time dependence.
