VROC initium ​Automatic Viscometer Workshop

High Viscosity Conductive Inks

A complete rheological study on the shear and extensional viscosity of thick conductive inks Viscosity is a key parameter affecting quality and performance of printed electronics and display systems. In this application note, we present a complete rheological study (shear viscosity, temperature dependence and extensional viscosity) of a carbon-water based high viscosity ink or paint.

VROC® technology offers a number of advantages over conventional viscometers and rheometers including:

  • Wide Dynamic Range:
    • Shear Viscosity: 0.2 – 200,000 [mPa-s]
    • Shear Rate: 0.5 – 1,400,000 [1/s]
    • Extensional Viscosity: 0.04 – 100 [Pa-s]
    • Extensional Rate: 1 – 10,000 [1/s]
  • Temperature Control: 4 – 125ºC
  • Superior Accuracy (2% of Reading) and Repeatability (0.5% of Reading)
  • Lowest Sample Volume Required
  • No Air-Liquid Interface (No Evaporation or Contamination)

m-VROC™ Viscometer — Controlled Shear Rates and Small Samples

m-VROC™ is the leading automated, small sample viscometer used worldwide by Fortune Global 500 companies and leading research universities. Capable of the most demanding applications including small sample protein therapeutics, m-VROC™ features the widest dynamic range (high shear rate viscosity measurements up to 1,400,000 s-1) with as little as 20 microliters of sample.

  • Accuracy: 2% of Reading
  • Repeatability: 0.5% of the Range
  • Viscosity Range: 0.2 ~ 100,000 m-Pas
  • Shear Rate Range: 0.5 ~ 1,400,000 s -1
  • Small Sample Volume: 20 microliter +
