ISR Flip

The KSV NIMA ISR Flip is a specialized Interfacial Shear Rheometer (ISR) designed for measuring the mechanical viscoelastic properties of monolayers and adsorbed films at fluid interfaces. By oscillating a magnetic needle trapped at the air-water or oil-water interface, the ISR Flip measures interfacial shear viscosity and elasticity, properties that reflect the structural organization and mechanical integrity of the interfacial film. The Flip design enables easy switching between air-water and oil-water configurations without rebuilding the setup. These measurements are crucial for understanding foam and emulsion stability, lung surfactant mechanics, protein film behavior, and the mechanical properties of 2D materials. NewRoad provides the KSV NIMA ISR Flip in Israel for soft matter, food science, and biomedical research groups.
