Basic Rubber Technology

Presented by: Jeffrey A. Jansen, Stork Technimet Inc., December 5, 2006
$99.00
Description:
Thermoset rubber compounds are widely used across many different applications. While based on polymers, these materials behave quite differently than either thermoplastics or thermoset plastics. In this presentation the fundamentals of basic rubber technology will be reviewed, particularly in light of the differences with plastics. The presentation will include: A foundation of the physical behavior of rubber materials. The compounding of rubber materials. The role of polymers, plasticizers, fillers, and other ingredients is presented.

Effect of Sparse Long-Chain Branching on Rheology and Processing

Presented by: Donald G. Baird, Virginia Tech, October 14, 2009
$99.00
Description:
The effect of sparse long-chain branching, LCB, on the rheology and associated processing behavior of polymers is distinctly different from the effect of broadening the molecular weight distribution (MWB). A brief review of sparse LCB and its effect on rheology and processing performance is presented first. Then, we focus on the degree of film-width reduction or necking during film-casting for several metallocene-catalyzed high-density polyethylenes with varying degrees of sparse LCB.

Fast-Scan DSC

Presented by: Kevin P. Menard, Perkin-Elmer, March 18, 2009
$99.00
Description:
Of the recent developments in differential scanning calorimetry, Fast-Scan DSC may be the most interesting. While normal DSC scans at rates between 1 and 20 C/min, Fast-Scan DSC uses rates starting from 100 C/min for heating and cooling. This allows the detection of weak transitions, the suppression of kinetic events like curing and recrystallizations, better isothermal studies, and increased throughput. This presentation will discuss the basic principles of Fast-Scan DSC and survey polymer-related applications.

Impact of Metallizer Process Controls on Optical and Gas Barrier Uniformity

Presented by: Eldridge M. Mount III, EMMOUNT Technologies, LLC, December 6, 2007
$99.00
Description:
A process study of vacuum metallizer was performed and the results in terms of optical density uniformity, metal adhesion and barrier uniformity were studied. Gas barrier was found to be a complex function of the process parameters studied while adhesion was determined to be sensitive to testing materials as well as process parameters. Visual uniformity was found to depend primarily on metallization pressure.

The Use of Scanning Electron Microscopy for Analysis of Skin Thickness in Polyvinyl Chloride

Presented by: Nicole Hoekstra, Western Washington University, January 23, 2008
$99.00
Description:
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the skin thickness of polyvinyl chloride under various conditions. This investigation had two objectives: to determine if SEM is a practical tool for quantifying the skin thickness of a polymer and to determine if mold temperature and lubricant concentration affect skin thickness. Even though measurements of skin thickness are subjective, this investigation concluded that SEM is a practical method for quantifying skin thickness when multiple measurements are made along the cross section.

Transition Temperature Microscopy: Thermal Property Mapping of Polymeric Materials

Presented by: Kevin Kjoller, Anasys Instruments, June 17, 2009
$99.00
Description:
Transition Temperature Microscopy (TTM) is a novel technique that maps spatial variations in thermal properties on submicron-length scales. Traditional bulk thermal analysis provides sample-averaged properties and cannot generally provide sufficient information about complex structures or heterogeneous films. TTM uses a nanoscale thermal probe to heat a very small region on the surface of a sample and locally measure its thermal properties, including thermal transition temperatures like melting points or glass transitions.
