Rheology is the study of flow. In particular the behaviour of viscoelastic materials that show properties of both solids and liquids in response to force (stress) or deformation (strain). A rheometer studies this by applying torque to a sample held between two plates, one fixed and the other in rotation.
Used for viscosity measurement, dynamic mechanical properties, foams & gels, curing & cross-linking, polymer melts.... and many other applications.
