The primary aim of the current paper is to provide insights into rheology techniques that, when combined with a good understanding of polymer chemistry, can help formulators adopt a more effective and science-based approach to product development, particularly in regard to rheology modifiers.
The article focuses on the connection between complex polymer properties and practical parameters investigated through easy-to-use rheometric techniques.
The simplified approach herein presented streamlines what is typically a complex and time-consuming process and enhances the understanding of the mechanisms at the core of product thickening and structuring, enabling formulators to use rheology modifiers at lower, more effective concentrations tailored to specific product needs, rather than relying on more basic viscometry data provided on standard technical documentation.
