Stability Testing of Energetic Materials by Isothermal Microcalorimetry

Stability Testing of Energetic Materials by Isothermal Microcalorimetry Overview This webinar introduces the use of isothermal microcalorimetry for stability measurement of energetic materials. Energetic materials refer to materials, chemicals and substances which exhibit a risk for self-decomposition associated with self-heating ultimately resulting in run-way reactions. Such materials include propellants, percarbonates and peroxides, and these…

Chris Yakacki: Characterization of Active Shape-Memory Polymers

Chris Yakacki: Characterization of Active Shape-Memory Polymers The field of stimuli-sensitive polymers has grown rapidly over the past decade. Actively-moving polymers have gained attention and have been proposed for use in applications from shape-changing biomedical devices to morphing structures. This webinar covers the basics of characterizing shape-memory polymers using thermo-mechanical equipment, such as the Q800 and…
