DetailsConsumer interest and sustainability goals are driving soaring demand for electric vehicles. The U.S. aims for electric vehicle sales to reach 50% of the total market by 2030, yet 99% of the raw and component materials for EV batteries are produced externally.1, 2 Sourcing foreign-made materials and batteries has already created challenges in the industry. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to market instability that caused the price of nickel, a key battery material, to skyrocket in March 2022.
DetailsMilford, Massachusetts – September 29, 2022 – Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) introduced new, innovative powder rheology tooling and software for its TA Instruments™ HR Rheometers allowing scientists to make precise, repeatable powder rheology measurements simpler and faster. Such measurements enable materials scientists to optimize the processing and end-use performance of powders used in batteries, pharmaceuticals, additive manufacturing, food, personal care products, and coatings.
DetailsTechnology is rapidly advancing. Whether you upgrade old equipment or add a new technique to your bench, using cutting-edge instrumentation is sure to enhance your lab’s efficiency and results. Today’s instruments offer more reliable data and advanced features, both of which are crucial for staying at the forefront of material innovation.
DetailsOverview The Discovery Hybrid Rheometer offers an array of concentric cylinder geometries to choose from. Concentric cylinder geometries are made up of two parts, the rotor and cup, also called the cup and bob. With numerous rotors and cups to choose from, how do you find the right combination for your lab? This tech tip…
DetailsSummary In recent years, biopolymers have risen to the forefront of discussions on sustainability in plastics. Biopolymers, both bio-sourced and biodegradable, offer the promise of being more environmentally friendly than virgin, single-use feedstock. However, biopolymers offer varying degrees of sustainability as well as unique challenges for plastic processors and manufacturers. Replacing traditional polyolefins with biopolymers…

DetailsAntibody stability is crucial for antibody performance in therapeutics. High antibody thermostabilities are essential for creating products with a reasonable shelf life and avoiding problems with deterioration of the biophysical properties of the antibody.
DetailsOverview In this Tech Tip, we will discuss how to create user-defined variables in TRIOS. User-defined variables expand your capabilities for advanced analysis and custom reports within TRIOS software. Learn how to set custom scalar sample properties and create variables defined by a customized equation for both thermal analysis and rheology tests in this quick…
DetailsFrom shiny cars to streak-free walls, we demand a lot from our coatings and paints. A high-quality paint not only needs dazzling color, but also must offer the right material properties for a smooth application and drying process. Consistency is crucial: too thin and the paint will run and drip; too thick and it will clump and not dry evenly. Spray paints and coatings also need to be applied smoothly without clogging the spray device.
DetailsBring Simplicity, Accuracy, and Uniformity to Your Coatings Testing If your lab is running the same tests over and over again, or has multiple users running the same tests, you want consistency in your testing process. TRIOS AutoPilot is a powerful tool for extending the capabilities of the TA Instruments Discovery Hybrid Rheometers. AutoPilot can…
