Overview The viscoelastic properties of polymers play a critical role in the different stages of polymer processing operations, whether it is melting and extrusion or the performance of the final product. On most polymer data sheets, these properties are presented in the form of a melt flow index. However, this simplistic approach is inherently…
Overview Differential Scanning Calorimetry is a simple yet powerful technique for gaining a broad understanding of the characteristics of pharmaceutical materials. Many of the properties that are explored using DSC, including apparent melting, the glass transition, and purity, are critical towards understanding the impact of processing conditions as well as the stability and compatibility…
Overview Have you been tasked with answering any of the following or similar questions? Will our product flow under these conditions? What are the optimal processing conditions? Will this formulation be accepted or rejected by our sensory panel? What is the working time for this adhesive? How strong is the final composite sample? Will…
Overview Differential scanning calorimeters (DSCs) are standard instruments used in both materials research and development and quality control laboratories. Demand for high-quality DSC data continues to increase rapidly throughout many industries. The development of new materials typically requires extensive testing with the objective of understanding the material structure-property relationship and its dependence on material…
