Behind The Bounce: The Mechanical Properties of Your Tennis Ball
Tennis players of all levels know that the right ball can make or break your game. But how do different balls compare, and how can manufacturers reliably measure these differences?
Pruebas de precisión para materiales energéticos y propulsores: Cómo TA Instruments impulsa la seguridad, la estabilidad y el rendimiento
La innovación en la ciencia de los materiales es una búsqueda continua, impulsada por la demanda de componentes más ligeros, resistentes, duraderos y fiables. Esto es especialmente crítico en las industrias aeroespacial y de defensa, donde los materiales deben funcionar de manera confiable en condiciones extremas, incluido el estrés mecánico intenso, las grandes fluctuaciones de temperatura y la exposición ambiental a largo plazo.
Don’t Let Bad Rheology Data Burn You
Summer is all about sunshine, pool days, and of course — sunscreen. But while most people are focused on SPF and water resistance, we’re here to talk about something just as important (and way more fun if you’re a science nerd): rheology.
The Importance of Reliable Mixing in ITC Experiments
ITC is the most sensitive method for characterizing binding interactions, revealing critical attributes like drug efficacy and stability. But without proper mixing, ITC data is unreliable and unusable. Great ITC experiments start with correct mixing.
Rheology is Maza: Unveiling the Secrets of Flowing Rangoli Colors
Powders are a big part of everyday life, from baking and laundry to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Understanding powder rheology—how powders flow and deform—is crucial for optimizing their use in various applications. This knowledge helps industries maintain consistency and product quality.
How to Accelerate Successful Product Development with Rheology
Rheology is a notoriously complex field, combining mathematics and physics to characterize materials. For inexperienced users, rheology can seem like a massive challenge. Luckily, new technology simplifies rheology down to its core so you can get essential measurements without difficult training, measurements, or calculations.
Viscometer vs Rheometer: Discover Why a Rheometer Offers More Than Just Viscosity Measurement
If you’re working with materials that can be flowed, for example within pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, or petrochemical industries, it’s likely that there is a viscometer in the laboratory that is the go-to instrument for formulation testing or QA purposes. However, does this viscometer give you the whole picture and fully meet all your needs?
RS-DSC: The Ultimate High Throughput DSC for Rapid Screening
Discover the RS-DSC from TA Instruments, the ultimate high throughput DSC for rapid thermal analysis. Learn more about its precision, speed, and capabilities.
What Your Material Specification Sheet Doesn’t Tell You
When it comes to selecting materials for your next innovative product, the material specification sheet is likely the first place that you will turn. This document provides core properties measured by the manufacturer and serves as an essential tool for supplier verification and new product development. However, while these sheets are reliable and provide a standard method for comparison, they often fail to tell the whole story.
Linear Viscoelastic Region: Why It’s Crucial in Materials Testing
Our world is brimming with viscoelastic materials: The dough you knead before baking a fresh loaf, the Silly Putty your toddler slaps against the wall, the rubber gaskets that create an airtight seal on an airplane door. Testing those materials by applying controlled deformations (strains) or forces (stresses) at various timescales, temperatures, and/or humidities allows for the optimization of properties and ensures durability and safety.
Why DSC Testing is a Critical Step in Developing Biosimilar Drugs
Biologic therapies derived from living organisms have revolutionized the treatment of complex diseases, yet their high development costs are often passed onto patients. Biosimilar drugs offer a promising solution to reduce costs while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. Unlike generic drugs, biosimilars cannot be exact replicas of their reference biologics due to their complex structures, necessitating rigorous testing and regulatory approval.
Overcoming Composites R&D Challenges with Material Analysis
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.
