Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is an effective technique for rapidly evaluating the oxidative stability of polymers and enables fiber producers to determine optimum formulations.
DetailsEvaluation of the single beam and 100% line is important in any FTIR analysis and especially in TGA/FTIR.
DetailsThe crystallization kinetics of different color marker pen caps made from polypropylene (PP) were evaluated using a non-isothermal crystallization DSC experiment. A reference sample of PP and PP containing a chemical nucleator Millad 3988 (DMDBS) were also included for comparison.
DetailsThis Applications Note discusses the advantages of the Discovery X3 DSC for thermoplastic analysis which includes the ability to identify potential differences in thermal properties as a function of thermal history.
DetailsIn this note, a lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cathode and graphite anode are evaluated, finding higher reaction energy in the cathode, and increasing thermal stability with decreasing state-of-charge.
DetailsIn this application note, a TA Discovery HR rotational rheometer facilitates coating optimization by measuring slurry viscosity over different shear rates that relate to coating speed. Drying kinetics are investigated with a Discovery TGA to yield the most cost-efficient condition.
DetailsTA Instruments’ High-Pressure TGA (HP-TGA) enables users to investigate stability and lifetime of polymers under realistic working conditions, assessing not only the effect of temperature on material stability, but also the effects of high pressure and possibly corrosive atmospheres.
DetailsModulated thermomechanical analysis (MTMA) was performed on a polypropylene (PP) battery separator to gain further insight into the mechanism of the dimension change and coefficient of linear expansion (CLE or α).
DetailsModulated DSC (MDSC) was performed on a polypropylene (PP) battery separator to gain additional insights into the effects of stretching during processing of the film.
DetailsPolymer melt rheology aims to understand and quantify the viscous and elastic properties of a polymer so that the process parameters are aligned with the material’s melt properties and vice-versa.
