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.
J’adore les bonnes expériences en cuisine, surtout lorsqu’il s’agit de pâtisseries et de desserts. À l’occasion de la Journée de Pi, faisons entrer la science et les expériences dans la cuisine avec de la pâte à tarte (pie en anglais), des garnitures… et un rhéomètre.
Les batteries lithium-ion (BLI) sont fabriquées selon un processus en plusieurs étapes combinant divers matériaux actifs et inactifs. Le choix des matériaux et les conditions de traitement peuvent avoir une incidence considérable sur les performances finales de la batterie.
Le passage du développement de la formulation à la commercialisation de la formulation dépend de la concentration de la dose, de la stabilité intrinsèque et de la proportion d’auto-association des protéines dans le médicament final1. Cela s’explique par le fait que le médicament atteint le stade final de son développement.
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.
As a central pillar of modern society, the pharmaceutical industry bears the load of billions of lives around the world. In 2022, the global revenue of the pharmaceutical industry approximated $1.5 trillion, a figure reflected in two decades of significant growth.
Les cartes de circuits imprimés (CCI) constituent l’élément central de pratiquement toutes les applications électroniques. Améliorer leurs performances et leur fiabilité est essentiel pour les projets de CCI personnalisés, dans lesquels des empreintes plus petites et une amélioration de la maintenabilité entraînent une meilleure fonctionnalité.
The most popular tool used to characterize binding in the late-discovery phase of drug development is isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). ITC is a high-resolution method for complete characterization of the basic chemical details of a binding interaction. The calorimeters accomplish this by measuring the heat that is released or absorbed when molecules interact with each other.
