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…
DetailsExtensional Rheology & Analytics of Material Characterization OVERVIEW Extensional flows are important to converging and squeezing flows that occur in polymer processing operations such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, film blowing and calendering. Uniaxial extensional flow measurement is particularly useful in polymer characterization because it is the ‘strongest’ flow field one can generate with…
DetailsQ Series Trade-In The Q Series™ instruments will enter their End-of-Life at the end 2024. Repair and maintenance will be done on “best-effort” after 2024. However, it should be noted that our ability to make these repairs is subject to availability of parts. In the attempt to facilitate the transition to the current Discovery Series,…
DetailsEvolved Gas Analysis: TGA/FTIR Overview Interested in detecting and identifying the presence of residual solvents in your formulation? Would you like to determine the thermal decomposition mechanism of your material? Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) directly measures weight change of a material as it is heated over a temperature range in a controlled atmosphere. If observing a…

DetailsOverview Trends in tire development and manufacturing have shifted to high performance rubbers that not only offer better durability but higher performance and lower fuel consumption. Silica, as a filler material, is now replacing conventionally used carbon black due to its unique set of properties. This webinar will illustrate how High Force Dynamic Mechanical Analysis…
DetailsThis article investigates the flexing properties and heat generation of rubber mixtures of styrene butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber, with silica and carbon black as fillers, using Goodrich Flexometer test or Heat Build-up.7
DetailsLithium-ion batteries (LIB) are manufactured through a multistep process combining various active and inactive materials. Material selection and processing conditions can greatly affect the final battery performance.
