Abstract
This request is for a twin bore capillary rheometer with a stainless steel barrel which will be used on a variety of current and future projects. These are: 1). the characterisation of the shear and extensional behaviour of biopolymer melts with the intention of relating this rheological information to gas cell expansion; 2). the measurement of the viscosities of confectionery systems at high temperatures. These include caramel and also high sugar polysaccharide containing materials; and 3). elucidation of the role of physical forces in the destruction of 'particles' in high viscosity fluids.
