We investigated the effects of cooling rate after polymer melting on the room temperature resistivity (ρ L) and on the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect of resistivity of high-density ...

Anyone who has ever melted a plastic ruler has seen a glass transition in action — the change from a glassy solid to a viscous liquid that occurs when many materials, including amorphous polymers, are ...

Melt flow indexing is evolving to become an even more imperative aspect of the digitized materials testing environment.

Rheology is the science of studying the flow and deformation of materials rooted in the laws of elasticity and viscosity proposed by Hooke and Newton in the late 17 th Century. Thermoplastic polymer ...

Americhem, Inc., a global polymer solutions provider, today announced the launch of nDryve™, a PFAS-free, in-melt surface-modifying technology platform designed to deliver durable multi-fluid ...

The authors examine the influence of glass-transition temperature, melt viscosity, degradation temperature, and process settings. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology is prominent in the pharmaceutical ...

Melt filtration of polymers plays a key role in setting quality criteria for virgin resins and various extruded end products. Polymer manufacturers have a lot to think about from process efficiency to ...
