The composites market is evolving fast. Global market projections indicate a 10.8 % growth by 2028, driven by the demand for composites across industries looking for materials with superior performance at reduced weight and cost. This blog explores how advanced material analysis can enhance R&D and manufacturing processes in the composites market, ultimately leading to financial savings and increased efficiency.

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a thermal analysis technique used to measure the mechanical properties of materials as they are deformed under periodic stress. DMA is commonly used to determine the viscoelastic behavior of polymers, composites, and other materials.

Will my paint coat the wall or drip off? Will my topical pharmaceutical spread on skin or form clumps? Rheology answers vital questions to inform how we create and interact with materials on a daily basis.

Me encanta un buen experimento en la cocina, en especial cuando involucra repostería y postres. Para celebrar el Día de Pi, llevemos la ciencia y los experimentos a la cocina con masa y rellenos para tartas... y un reómetro.

Las baterías de iones de litio (BIL) se fabrican mediante un proceso de varios pasos que combina varios materiales activos e inactivos. La selección y las condiciones de procesamiento de materiales pueden afectar en gran medida el desempeño final de la batería.

La progresión desde el desarrollo de la formulación hasta la formulación comercial depende de la potencia de la dosis, la estabilidad intrínseca y la magnitud de autoasociación de proteína en el fármaco final.1 Esto se debe a que el fármaco está alcanzando la etapa final de desarrollo.

High-performance polymers are a critical material for manufacturers due to their combination of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, but especially their cost. Without adequate testing, manufacturers could run into a slew of issues, from immediate product failure to poor performance or failure after some time in usage.

The method of drug delivery significantly influences the final stages of the manufacturing process. Currently, lyophilization—a widely adopted technique—enables drug developers to stabilize formulations and therapeutic molecules using a validated commercial approach. In this process, precise control of pressure and temperature within a lyophilizer facilitates the removal of liquids from formulations containing thermally sensitive or hydrolytically unstable active pharmaceutical ingredients or formulation components.

Against the backdrop of a plastic waste crisis, the global demand for plastic is set to quadruple by 2060. This has driven a shift toward sustainability and away from linear use models of plastic production. Post-consumer resin (PCR) has emerged as a key player in circular economy initiatives, though ensuring the quality and performance of PCR requires several characterization considerations.

Las placas de circuito impreso (Printed Circuit Boards, PCB) son el fundamento de prácticamente todas las aplicaciones electrónicas. Mejorar su desempeño y confiabilidad es primordial para proyectos de PCB personalizados, donde las huellas más pequeñas y la mantenibilidad mejorada llevan a una mayor funcionalidad. Sin embargo, asegurar la longevidad y el desempeño constante en diversas condiciones requiere un análisis detallado.
