Thermal Analysis of Heat Shrink Tubing
Heat shrink tubing appears simple at first glance: wrap it around your wires, apply a heat gun, and voila – perfectly insulated wires every time. But these tubes are more complex than they seem.
Rheology is 有趣 (yǒu qù): Our Eco-Friendly Wishing Lantern
During the Lunar New Year, sky lanterns are released to symbolize the letting go of the past year’s troubles and welcoming new beginnings. The sky lantern tradition is thousands of years old, spreading from Buddhist Monks in the 2nd Century to modern festivals in China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.
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.
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.
Characterization Considerations when Sourcing PCR
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.
Thermal Analysis in Pharmaceutical Research, Development, and Quality Control
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.
印刷電路板 (PCB) 的熱分析
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) form the backbone of virtually all electronic applications. Enhancing their performance and reliability is paramount for custom PCB projects, where smaller footprints and improved maintainability lead to enhanced functionality.
複合材料的材料分析
We expect a lot from our composites: rocket materials need to endure the heat of takeoff, wind turbines must withstand high wind gusts, and sneakers are expected to be durable and supportive on long runs. How do experts develop composites tailored to such specific uses and verify their properties?
美國電動汽車電池生產之路
由於消費者的興趣和永續發展的目標，對於電動汽車的需求持續攀升。美國寄望在 2030 年電動汽車的銷售量要佔美國汽車市場的一半，然而 99% 電動汽車（EV）電池的原料和零件皆在國外生產1, 2。採購國外製造的材料和電池已為產業帶來不少挑戰。俄國侵略烏克蘭更加劇市場的不穩定，導致關鍵電池材料鎳的價格在 2022 年 3 月飆漲3。
4 種經濟實惠的實驗室儀器升級方法
科技正快速進步。無論是升級舊設備，還是為操作台添加新技術，使用最先進的儀器一定會提高實驗室的效率和結果。現今的儀器提供更可靠的數據和進階的功能，兩者對於維持材料創新的先鋒地位而言極其重要。
How To Optimize Lyophilization with Thermal Analysis
冷凍真空乾燥法 (Lyophilization)，又稱「凍乾」，為移除樣品水分的方法，常作為保存用途。冷凍真空乾燥法中通常透過快速冷凍的過程將樣品中的水分昇華。快速冷凍可避免大冰晶的形成而將樣品的細胞壁受到破壞。
