In our Rheo-PLI-SAXS experiments (yes, that’s a mouthful, but trust us, it’s cool), we uncovered how hierarchical systems align under shear. Spoiler: biphasic suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals are drama queens - orienting at mesoscale way before nanoscale gets the memo. 🤷‍♀️

Post-extrusion behavior matters! We explore how Carbopol–PEO blends can be tuned to control die swelling and 3D printing. SAXS at @maxiv helped us link rheology to nanoscale structure.

Tunable Elasto‐Viscoplastic Properties of Polymer Blends for 3D Printing Applications
This study explores the tunable elasto-viscoplastic properties of Carbopol-PEO blends for 3D printing. Using rheo-SAXS and dimensionless analysis, it identifies optimal printability regimes and revea...

Just back from the WWSC International Conference 2025 (conference2025.wwsc.se) in Stockholm! Great days exploring sustainable wood-based materials. Kesavan, Roland, and Kim (MAX IV) shared our latest on flow instabilities, rheology, mechanical properties & X-ray scattering.

New theme: RheoMAXESS

– Our aim is to make MAX IV and ESS into an epicenter for scattering techniques with focus on rheology. It’s a precursor to developing new materials for sustainability and different biomedical applications, says Roland Kádár, Prof. at Chalmers.
