In this Applications note, we demonstrate using TGA to precisely control the degree of degradation to be < 5wt% and characterize the impact of degrees of degradation on polymer thermal properties.
DetailsThe impact of moisture content on cohesion strength is measured using the TA Instruments Powder Rheology Accessory. It was found that as moisture content increases, cohesion strength also increases, demonstrating the importance of controlling humidity during processing.
DetailsThis work investigates the influence of moisture content and substrate material on the wall friction of carboxymethyl cellulose powder, which is used as an excipient in tablet formulations.

DetailsFrom plastic for medical devices to rubber for tires, the materials we use must meet increasingly high demands. Product manufacturers and consumers expect their materials to look good, perform well, and cost less, all while being environmentally friendly. Fulfilling all these expectations requires deep understanding of material behavior from the molecular level to real world mechanical properties. Since there are many factors that affect the properties of materials, precise measurement tools and methods are required to ensure that materials fulfill the high expectations of our world. A key measurement and analysis method to evaluate the properties of materials at various stages of development and production is Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA).

DetailsThe Discovery Xenon Flash (DXF) source module employs a High Speed Xenon-pulse Delivery source (HSXD) which has considerably higher efficiency, lower costs and less maintenance than equivalent systems. A reflective optic configuration of our design effectively harnesses the power of a Xenon flash tube and, with the aid of proprietary wave guides, delivers it to the specimen inside the Environmental Module. DXF 900 produces a pulse width of 400 μs to 600 μs and uniformly concentrates the power from the flash source directly on the entire face of the specimen. Due to this optimized optical arrangement and the broad light spectrum, specimens as large as 25 mm in diameter can be illuminated with sufficient energy to make a high-accuracy measurement. The use of large samples diminishes errors associated with inhomogeneity and permits representative measurements of poorly dispersed composites.
