Malvern Instruments and Rutgers have collaborated on the installation of a particle characterisation laboratory at the Center for Ceramic Research (CCR) at Rutgers (State University of New Jersey).
Malvern will provide a suite of instrumentation that will be used by researchers from the CCR, other university departments and partnership universities to continue the links between rheology and particle characteristics.
The facility will be managed by Prof Richard Haber, director of the CCR.
The 500ft2 laboratory will contain rotational and capillary rheometers - the Gemini and RH 2000 respectively.
These will be complemented by a Zetasizer Nano S for nanoparticle characterisation, and a Mastersizer 2000 for laser diffraction-based particle size measurement in the range 0.02-2,000 microns.
