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.
DetailsPolymer rheology plays a critical role in understanding the flow behavior and viscoelastic properties of polymers across the supply chain. Whether in polymer manufacturing, compounding, conversion, or recycling, precise rheological measurements are essential for optimizing processing conditions, ensuring product quality, and preventing defects.
DetailsWill your paint stick to the wall or drip off? Does your low-fat cream cheese have the same texture as a full-fat version? How will new ingredients affect your formulation’s texture and application, especially as environmental conditions change? Rheology offers invaluable insights that help researchers, developers, and engineers across numerous industries optimize their products for performance and customer satisfaction.
DetailsThe development of biopharmaceuticals demands precise thermal stability characterization to ensure efficacy, safety, and manufacturability. As the industry shifts toward high concentration biologic formulations and subcutaneous delivery methods, the need for innovative DSC solutions becomes increasingly critical.
DetailsIn battery development, precise rheological measurements are critical for optimizing material performance, ensuring uniform coatings, and enhancing conductivity. Whether working with cathode, anode, or electrolyte materials, selecting the right rheometer is essential. TA Instruments offers two industry-leading solutions: the Discovery Core Rheometer and the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer. This guide helps battery scientists determine which instrument best suits their needs.
DetailsPharmaceutical research and discovery rely on accurate characterization of molecular interactions to develop effective and safe drugs. Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) is a gold-standard technique that provides critical insights into binding affinity, thermodynamics, and stoichiometry—essential components in Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) studies.
DetailsFrom smooth moisturizers to voluminous shampoo, the products that support everyday self-care routines are the result of the scientific interplay between deformation and flow. The personal care industry (and your morning routine) is only made possible because of rheology – the study of how a material moves (flow) or changes under varying degrees of stress (deformation).
DetailsMechanical testing supports material and product innovation across a variety of industries and applications, from testing the long-term durability of dental implants during chewing to predicting how a car part will bend during an accident. Learn how the latest technology advances mechanical testing to better support cutting-edge product development.
DetailsDuring 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.
DetailsFrom faster prototyping to ensuring long-term performance, fatigue testing is a critical step in product development across a variety of industries that rely on high-performance materials, like polymers, rubber compounds, and composites. When done properly, fatigue testing accelerates development by helping engineers make informed decisions about prototypes and designs.
DetailsPolymers are everywhere, from components making up the electronic device you’re reading this on to life-saving medical devices, energy efficient solar panels, and lightweight aero or auto components. Material scientists and engineers continue to improve high-performance polymers for strength, durability, and stability under demanding applications.
DetailsIn the world of material science, understanding the viscoelastic properties of materials is crucial for developing and optimizing products. Two key parameters in this context are storage modulus (E’ or G’) and loss modulus (E” or G”). These parameters provide insights into a material’s stiffness and damping characteristics, respectively, which are essential for applications ranging from polymers and pharmaceuticals to batteries and composites.
