White Paper The Power of Powder Rheology for Lithium-Ion Battery Electrode Manufacturing Powders are the functional building blocks of lithium-ion batteries and the ideal raw materials for their electrodes because they provide a high surface area for charge transfer. Understanding powder properties is pivotal to optimize electrode fabrication. In this white paper, learn how powder…
Overview In this Tech Tip, we will install and calibrate the TA Instruments Rheo-Impedance Spectroscopy Accessory for HR Rheometers.
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.
The drive for consumers, brand owners, and corporations to become more eco-conscious in their purchases has led to an increased demand in sustainably sourced materials. Several industries have started initiatives to incorporate the use of recycled materials as well as bio-derived materials. In the case of bio-derived materials, industries using polymers have interest in biopolymers; however, these materials come with unique challenges.
Summary Electrode manufacturing for lithium-ion batteries is a complex, multistep process that requires comprehensive material characterization to ensure quality and consistency in the final electrodes. Electrode processing involves combining active materials with binders and conductive additives to form a coating on the current collector, either as a slurry or dry coating. The mixing and coating…

TA Instruments cordially invites you to join us for an insightful session focusing on essential technologies for material characterization across the entire battery production line. This includes advancing from research phases to precursor materials analysis, culminating in technologies that assess finished products and forecast their lifespan and safety.
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.
