Currently we offer multiscale characterization by simultaneous rheometry, polarized light imaging (PLI), and SWAXS. Each of the techniques probe a different range of length scales, as schematically illustrated in the figure. The standard approach is parallel-plate geometry, with PLI monitoring the velocity-velocity gradient plane, but concentric-cylinder geometry is also possible.
