In Episode 10 of this podcast series, we explored tribology testing and how it can be used to improve sustainability. In this Episode, we explore the use of rheology testing for the same purpose. Rheology is the study of the deformation and flow of solids and liquids. Rheology has applications in materials science, human biology, pharmaceutics, engineering, food science and geophysics, to name just a few. The use of rheology has a huge potential for improved sustainability and in this Episode, we will talk about a few of these areas.
