These chains are compounded from numerous small molecules that can change the mechanical behavior of the polymer and skew its molecular weight. This makes establishing a consistent molecular weight ...

During thermal amplification of PMCB6M films, the axis-selective photo-cross-linked mesogenic side groups undergo in-plane self-organization, acting as anchors that reorient the non-photoreacted ...

The bulk properties of polymer solutions are sensitive to polymer concentration. Polymer solutions are typically described as being either dilute, semi-dilute, or concentrated. The concentration ...

A new study has discovered the fundamental principles of handling polymers. Researchers presented the intrinsic molecular characteristics of the slip phenomena by using atomistic nonequilibrium ...

MFR testing can be characterized as the Rodney Dangerfield of material test techniques — it receives no respect. People from every area of the industry tone down the value of the test or completely ...

The BI-MwA Molecular Weight Analyzer from TESTA Analytical is a compact, pre-aligned static light scattering detector for labs looking to quickly determine the absolute average molecular weight of any ...
