ADT Automated Density Tester by TA Instruments
Density testing is made simple with the TA Instruments fully Automated Density Tester. This fully programmable, automated system measures the density of cured rubber materials using the finite difference (buoyancy) method.
DetailsAHT: Automated Hardness Tester by TA Instruments
The AHT Automated Hardness Tester streamlines the measurement of Shore A hardness for cured rubber materials. This fully programmable, automated system measures the hardness of cured rubber materials according to all international standards for Shore A hardness..
In Search of Calorimetric Answers to Events In Self Assemblies
In Search of Calorimetric Answers to Events In Self Assemblies In this TA Webinar, Professor Nand Kishore discusses how to best discover and interpret protein folding, ligand binding, aggregation and molecular partitioning in self assemblies. Isothermal titration (ITC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are powerful tools for thermodynamic characterization of protein folding intermediates, drug-protein…
DetailsExtensional Rheology in Polymer Processing
Extensional Rheology in Polymer Processing Extensional flows dominate many polymer processes, including blow molding, film blowing, fiber spinning, thermoforming and many others. The rheology of polymeric materials under extensional flows can differ significantly from shear flows and it is important to understand this in order to optimize both materials and processes. In this webinar, we…
DetailsAn Introduction to Tribo-Rheometry: Quantifying Friction
An Introduction to Tribo-Rheometry: Quantifying Friction Tribology complements rheology, providing information on solid-solid interactions that adds insight to the bulk fluid measurements of rheology. Tribology is especially concerned with quantifying the coefficient of friction as a function of sliding speed and load force, under dry or lubricated conditions. This provides useful information about lubrication, wear,…
DetailsRheo-Microscopy: Bridging Rheology, Microstructure & Dynamics
Rheo-Microscopy: Bridging Rheology, Microstructure & Dynamics The combination of optical microscopy with rheological tests enables direct observation of material structure under shear deformation. This provides critical information that can help understand, predict, and tune the material response under processing, storage, or end-use conditions.
DetailsMorphology Of Complex Nanoparticle Mixtures
Morphology Of Complex Nanoparticle Mixtures The performance of new materials and devices depend heavily on morphological considerations: degree of crystallinity, conformation of amorphous species, and relative organization of one species with respect to another, characteristics which can be determined by thermal analysis. These considerations are important for functional materials such as photovoltaics and MEMS devices,…
