Thermal Lifetime Analysis of PET and Recycled PET Fibers
This note investigates the degradation kinetics of virgin and recycled polyethylene terephthalate fibers used for 3D printing through TGA, finding similar lifetime predictions for the samples studied.
DSC Step Annealing for Fingerprinting Molecular Structure in Poly(vinylidene fluoride)
DSC step annealing is used to study the fine molecular structure of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) homopolymers and copolymers. The melting pattern, obtained after step annealing, is a characteristic “fingerprint” for small variations in structure. This “fingerprint” detects variations in the polymerization process, the molecular weight of the polymer, the fraction and the nature of the co-monomer.
Thermal Analysis Application Brief Determination of Polymer Crystallinity by DSC
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) provides a rapid method for determining polymer crystallinity based on the heat required to melt the polymer.

This webinar will cover the essential material characterization techniques that today’s labs need to adopt to develop the batteries of tomorrow.
Simple Determination of the Linear Viscoelastic Region of a Polymer Using a Rheometer
Materials such as polymers exhibit viscoelastic behavior which is directly related to molecular structure and formulation differences. To accurately evaluate the relationships between molecular structure and viscoelastic behavior requires that experiments, such as rheological measurements, be conducted in regions where the viscoelastic properties observed are independent of imposed stress or strain levels. That is, experiments must be conducted in the linear viscoelastic region.

Determining the Linear Viscoelastic Region in Oscillatory Measurements
This note will describe the linear viscoelastic region (LVR) and how to determine the LVR in oscillatory experiments for the purpose of obtaining quality data. All aspects of the LVR discussed in this note are general to viscoelastic samples, including (but in no way limited to) polymers, foods, gels, creams, pastes, slurries, emulsions, and inks.
Thermal Analysis of Phase Change Materials – Three Organic Waxes using TGA, DSC, and Modulated DSC®
The purpose of this study is to characterize three phase change materials (PCMs) – one paraffin wax and two beeswaxes. PCMs are widely used for thermal energy storage and thermal management due to their high latent heat storage ability.
