This study had a threefold purpose: 1) study the creep response of bone to repetitive phsyiologically-relevant loading 2) to perform these types of tests on a small scale; and, 3) to illustrate and identify age-related effects on the mechanical properties of bone.
Choosing to model DSC data can give additional insight into the unfolding process of a macromolecule or be helpful to deconvolute a multiple transition thermogram. This application note will discuss general guidelines of choosing the correct baseline and DSC model.
The nitinol shape-memory alloy solid-solid transition is studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which reveals the reversible and hysteretic nature of this transition. This can be used to provide information on the composition of the nitinol alloy. It also serves as a tool to detect the existence of, and changes in, the intermediate R-phase.
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is the best technique to obtain a complete understanding of the driving forces leading to a binding interaction. There have been significant advances to the technology and method development leading to a workflow solution for every lab.
We performed a comparability study of a liquid protein reference formulation using a nano differential scanning calorimeter (Nano DSC) to reveal that this thermodynamic technology detects the smallest changes in biomolecular structure in response to subtle manipulations in the reference formulation.
To Characterize the Variation in Material Properties of Non-Woven PLGA Fibers
This application note will review the microcalorimetric techniques that are most commonly used within pharmaceutical science: including stability and compatibility tests, determination of small amounts of amorphic content and characterizing polymorphism.
In this note, the thermal properties of nylon gears with increasing mass fractions of recycled material are evaluated.
In this note, the processing behavior of two lactose excipients is studied by measuring shear and flowability of milled and spray-dried lactose. Milled lactose was found to have higher cohesion, yield strength, confined and unconfined flow energies when compared to spray-dried lactose.
The purpose of this paper is to explain and illustrate a systematic thermal analysis approach (DSC, MDSC®, and TGA) for detecting drug-excipient incompatibility and then optionally exploring the rate of reaction (kinetics) and reaction mechanism (chemistry).
In this apps note, the properties of PLA are studied under various controlled humidity and temperature conditions.
his application note describes the importance of using thermal and rheological techniques to help fingerprinting the molecular architecture of the PET feedstocks.
