For semi-crystalline polymers, the crystallinity rate is a key parameter which directly influences mechanical properties, such as mechanical resistance or stiffness, as well as thermal and gas barrier ...

Atoms or molecules in a crystal are organized in a periodic and regular way. Crystallinity is referred to the extent of structural order in solid products, such as powders and pellets. Compared to ...

In order to transform polymers from raw materials into a completed product, there is a need for a processing stage involving a molten state, often called melt. After cooling, the final product will ...

Polymer crystallinity exerts a profound influence on mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical resistance, making its precise characterisation vital for materials design and process control.

To convert polymers from raw materials into the final product, a processing stage is required that involves a molten state, commonly known as melt. The final product will normally be in a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University have created a device that can quickly and inexpensively determine whether new pharmaceutical formulations have trace crystallinity that can ...

Researchers have created a device that can quickly and inexpensively determine whether new pharmaceutical formulations have trace crystallinity that can negatively impact the drug's stability and ...

Coordination nanosheets are emerging 2D materials with a wide range of applications. However, highly crystalline nanosheets are difficult to synthesize through solution-based approaches. In a recent ...

This series of articles is designed to help molders understand how a few analytical tools can help diagnose a part failure. Michael Sepe, our analyst and author, is an independent materials and ...

Quantitative analysis to evaluate degrees of crystallinity is an indispensable step in the drug development process. Fully aware of its significance, the CRO service provider—CD Formulation—recently ...
