of the Polymer Group of Switzerland
The Swiss Group of Rheology is a special topics group of the
Polymer Group of Switzerland and was formed in March 1993.
Its main goal is to promote the research and teaching of rheology and its practical application, to bring together those interested in rheology and its practical applications, and to cultivate contacts with national and international organizations.
The Polymer Group of Switzerland is responsible for the control of finances.
The Swiss Group of Rheology had 102 members in 2001.
