Rheology Course Updates

The Hydan rheology course and the University of Minnesota rheology course were held this month, so I've removed the links.  If you're looking for basic rheology courses, the rotational rheometer companies hold classes.  I haven't been involved in any courses for the last five years, so I don't know how good they are.  Here are some links to the training pages--

• Anton Paar classes
• TA Instruments classes
• Malvern classes
• I don't see any courses for Thermo Scientific, but that doesn't mean they don't offer any.

Link of the Moment: Rheology School

Today's link is a consulting business from the UK called the Rheology School.  The business, run by Neil Cunningham, offers sample testing, consulting, classes, rheology glossary, and an independent rheometer buying guide.

SOR Short Courses

There will be two short courses at the 2010 SOR meeting in Santa Fe this year.  There will be a two day course on colloidal dispersions and a one day course on microrheology.  Information on the courses can be found here.

Blog Organization

I've added some links to rheology courses off to the right hand side.  If you have a course you know about or would like to ad, send me an email.
