Hydrogels are used for a range of applications. In this study, we characterized two different types of topical wound dressing hydrogels, one specialized for radiation dermatitis, and another for low exudating wounds using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) techniques.
DetailsIn this paper, the thermo-mechanical response of a polyurethane based shape-memory polymer material was analyzed using a TA Instruments DMA. Two cyclic test procedures were developed for quantitative measurement of the thermal-mechanical properties.
DetailsNano Differential Scanning Calorimetry (Nano DSC) and Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) are powerful label-free and immobilization free analytic tools for thermodynamic measurements of molecular binding, biomolecular thermostability, and enzyme kinetic reactions.
DetailsIn this apps note, the properties of PLA are studied under various controlled humidity and temperature conditions.
DetailsAgainst the backdrop of a plastic waste crisis, the global demand for plastic is set to quadruple by 2060. This has driven a shift toward sustainability and away from linear use models of plastic production. Post-consumer resin (PCR) has emerged as a key player in circular economy initiatives, though ensuring the quality and performance of PCR requires several characterization considerations.
DetailsOverview Catalytic reactions are of tremendous commercial importance. Over 90% of all chemicals worldwide are manufactured with the aid of solid catalysts. Developing improved catalysts and optimizing the reaction conditions are key for improving commercial and ecological efficiency of catalytic processes. High-pressure thermogravimetric analysis (HP-TGA) allows investigating reactions of a catalyst with the gas…
DetailsIn this Tech Tip, we will set up the saturator reservoir for the Discovery SA.
