Various thermal analysis techniques can be used to monitor the cure level in thermosets. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), for example, can determine cure level based on the amount of additional curing (with associated heat evolution) that occurs on further heating.
This note illustrates the advantages of working with a thermogravimetric instrument in an inert environment by way of a simple example with a water sensitive material.
This application note will investigate the slurry aging and stability through its flow behavior and viscoelastic properties by using rheological methods. The slurry studied demonstrates a decrease in stability over time, which can be used to indicate the appropriate batch lifetime in a production environment.
The blending of two or more polymers is becoming a common method for developing new materials for demanding applications such as impact-resistant parts and packaging films.
There has been significant work done looking at using IMC to characterize the growth patterns of bacteria3-9 and even converting isothermal microcalorimetry data into biologically meaningful data such as growth rate, lag phase, or maximum growth.
This note demonstrates the utility of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements in evaluating the effects of an antagonistic interaction of two common additives that may be found in a mechanical recycle stream of polypropylene (PP).
This app note introduces the application of the measurement of metabolizable energy for growth of living organisms in food processing.
