Different thermal analysis methods have become a popular route for determining how different polymers behave under different temperature environments. Some polymers can be used in high-temperature ...

AZoM talks to Juergen Blumm, Managing Director of Sales, Service and Marketing at NETZSCH, about the need for Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in the thermal analysis of polymers. With NETZSCH ...

The Bruker Thermal Analysis (VITA) enables nanoscale thermal analysis (nTA), which is a revolutionary technique that permits the estimation of local transition temperature at the material surface with ...

The Thermal Analysis (VITA) module enables nanoscale thermal analysis (nTA), a novel technique that allows the determination of the local transition temperature on the surface of a material with ...

Mechanoresponsive polymers hold great technological potential in drug delivery, ‘smart’ optical systems and microelectromechanical systems. However, hysteresis and fatigue (associated with large-scale ...

In a new study, researchers have designed and demonstrated a novel type of polymer demonstrating a switchable thermal conductivity controlled by light. The material has the potential to route the ...

Three distinct segment states were identified within a single polymer chain adsorbed on a surface: thermally activated, thermally suppressed, and a switching state that alternates between the two. The ...

Sentherm’s thermally conductive polymer formulations achieve 1.5-5.0 W/m·K through-thickness conductivity range, with results up to 18.88 W/m·K in certain polymers, using hybrid conductive filler ...
