Uses of Isothermal Microcalorimetry in Urology In this TA Instruments sponsored webinar, Dr. Olivier Braissant discusses the process of detecting and monitoring biological processes with isothermal calorimetry. This has been shown to be an accurate analytical technique and is proportional to the rate at which a given chemical or physical process takes place.
DetailsOverview Crude oil is typically extracted as a single organic liquid phase from the reservoir. However during transportation, a drop in the temperature can cause the higher molecular weight paraffins or waxes to separate into the solid phase. The temperature at which the first wax crystals appear during cooling is commonly known as the…
DetailsOverview In order to meet growing market demands for power storage, Lithium ion and new battery chemistries demand higher energy density, longer cycle life, calendar life, and better safety to a lower cost. Isothermal microcalorimetry is a highly sensitive, non-destructive and non-specific tool to characterize these critical performance criteria. Learn how this method provides:…
DetailsTroy Nickel: An Introduction to Fatigue Testing Material or structural failures are typically the result of two types of loading modes: a single (static) load that results in failure or a repeated (cyclic) load that causes the material or structure to fatigue over time. When designing materials or structures it is important to understand which…
DetailsOverview Thermogravimetry (TGA) is a classical method determining temperature dependent material properties. Traditional TGA is performed at ambient pressure and with relatively inert reaction gases. To measure application-relevant material properties, however, TGA must be performed under real application conditions: at high pressures, with reactive and/or corrosive gases and in steam atmospheres. The TGA and…
DetailsThermodynamic Rules To Achieve High Binding Affinity & Selectivity High affinity and selectivity are two essential properties of drug molecules. Since the binding affinity is determined by the sum of enthalpic and entropic contributions, extremely high affinity necessitates optimization of both contributions to binding. An efficient approach requires accurate prediction of the contributions of specific…
DetailsOverview Thermosetting materials, such as epoxy, have been widely applied in many areas including automotive, aerospace and electronics industries in the form of surface coating, structural adhesives, advanced composites and packaging materials. These kind of materials pose high mechanical strength, high temperature stability and good solvent resistance. Unlike thermoplastic polymers, the process of thermosets…
DetailsOverview An overview of the use of thermal analysis techniques in materials characterization is explored with reference to typical examples of the type, quality, and usefulness of data that can be gathered and the interpretation of results.
DetailsOverview Have you experienced manufacturing performance differences between batches of materials, despite seeing no difference in specifications or cure data? Do you want to reduce scrap, improve processing efficiencies, and minimize variability in your manufacturing process? Join us as we adventure beyond the cure curve and look at additional testing methods to correlate material characteristics…
DetailsStrategies for Rheological Evaluation of Adhesives Adhesives are widely used across a broad range of industries and are a regular part of consumers’ daily lives. A quantitative understanding of the performance of such materials, such as adhesion, cohesion, tack, and peel performance is important for quality control and guiding formulators. Rheology is a powerful tool…
DetailsOverview Adhesives are widely used across a broad range of industries and are a regular part of consumers’ daily lives. A quantitative understanding of the performance of such materials, such as adhesion, cohesion, tack, and peel performance is important for quality control and guiding formulators. Rheology is a powerful tool that provides direct measurement…
DetailsOverview The ability of a material to store and transfer heat is characterized with the material properties of thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity. Understanding these properties is critical when exposing a material to a wide array of temperature environments: large gradients, rapid changes, and maintaining stability, to name a few. Accurate…
