This blog post will explore five of the fundamental measuring techniques for obtaining the dynamic viscosity and the kinematic viscosity of fluidic samples. This property is density-dependent and is measured in square meters per second (m 2/s). This characteristic is typically expressed in millipascal seconds (mPa-s). Shear viscosity is expressed under two distinct forms:
These Van der Waals forces are critical facets of a sample’s resistance to deformation, or flow, which defines the material’s viscosity.
The viscous properties of a liquid or amorphous solid are primarily determined by inter-particle forces within the solution, including friction and attraction between molecules in the macrostructure.
