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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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。
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。
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。
3D 列印也稱為積層製造是一種多功能製造技術，它正被不同產業所接受。3D 列印可以快速製造原型，並依照需求來列印解決方案，以避免批次生產造成的浪費。
Qu’est-ce que les bioplastiques ? Comment les fabricants de plastique peuvent-ils les exploiter pour améliorer l’impact environnemental de leurs produits ? Étant donné le grand nombre de technologies vertes émergentes, les producteurs et les consommateurs doivent distinguer l’écoblanchiment1 des véritables avancées. En outre, si un nouveau développement est jugé avantageux pour l’environnement, toutes les étapes de la chaîne d’approvisionnement des plastiques, en particulier les transformateurs, devront alors trouver le moyen d’intégrer la nouvelle technologie sans compromettre leur processus ou leurs produits.
基因療法是一種疾病治療方法，它不是使用藥物或手術治療，而是改變病人的基因構造。基因療法是透過激活特定的基因、修復不完善的基因，或是引入新的基因來幫助對抗疾病。
