Rheology
It is a study on the flow and transformation of materials. During the production process of products, various raw materials are affected by external forces.
It is a study that deals with how flow changes.
Rheology is not only applied to engineering such as chemical engineering, machinery, textiles, materials, aviation, and polymers.
It is a representative interdisciplinary study related to various fields such as pure science such as physics, mathematics, and chemistry, as well as medicine and food.

The term Rheology was first coined in 1929.
Since the founding of The Society of Rheology in the United States, theory and practical application have developed together.
In particular, with the rapid development of the synthetic polymer (plastics, synthetic fiber, rubber, etc.) industry, rheology plays a role as its theoretical pillar.
The research areas, researchers, and subjects at the university have grown significantly.
