Understanding Storage and Loss Modulus with TA Instruments

In the world of material science, understanding the viscoelastic properties of materials is crucial for developing and optimizing products. Two key parameters in this context are storage modulus (E’ or G’) and loss modulus (E” or G”). These parameters provide insights into a material’s stiffness and damping characteristics, respectively, which are essential for applications ranging from polymers and pharmaceuticals to batteries and composites.

What is Isothermal Microcalorimetry (IMC)?

Isothermal Microcalorimetry (IMC) is a highly sensitive analytical technique that measures the heat flow in chemical and physical processes under constant temperature. IMC enables the precise detection of thermal reactions, including phase transitions, binding events, and metabolic processes, making it invaluable in fields such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, and battery research.
