DMA Master Curve Construction and the TTS Principle

Understanding the viscoelastic behavior of materials under different loading conditions is crucial for effective material selection, processing, research, and quality control. However, instrument limitations mean it is not always possible to evaluate materials at extreme loading frequencies.

By employing the time-temperature superposition (TTS) technique to construct a DMA master curve, we can predict relaxation behavior beyond the capabilities of a dynamic mechanical analyzer. This approach provides valuable insights for material characterization and application development.

Routine Testing of Balances and Scales

Balances and scales play a critical role in research and development, quality assurance and production. Errors in weighing cost time and money, due to rework, waste and product recalls.

In order to maintain consistent product quality and comply with standards and regulations, the performance of balances and scales needs to be verified regularly with a calibration. Routine testing of balances or scales in-between these scheduled calibrations helps to maintain accuracy by ensuring early detection of non-conformance with weighing process requirements so that corrective action can be taken in a timely manner.

This webinar will give you a good understanding of why balance and scale testing is crucial for the accuracy of your weighing results in laboratory and production environments. We explain what your routine testing plan must contain, and, on top of that, we offer an overview of how to perform these routine tests correctly.

Navigating Global Regulatory Frameworks for Microplastic Analysis in Drinking Water Using Vibrational Spectroscopy

As interest in microplastics in the environment and food chain grows, so does the interest in the potential impacts for environmental and human health. This, coupled with strong public attention, has led to various organizations around the world looking towards the potential for regulations. While there are no specific regulations relating to the occurrence of microplastics in, for example, food, drinking water, or wastewater, an increasing number of standardized methodologies are being developed as a potential precursor to regulation. Some examples are:
  • Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2024/1441: Supplementing Directive (EU) 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and the Council by laying down a methodology to measure microplastics in water intended for human consumption.
  • ISO/DIS 16094-2: Water quality—Analysis of microplastic in water, Part 2: Vibrational spectroscopy methods for waters with low suspended solids content, including drinking water (Under development).
In the United States, the government in California has gone one step further by mandating a four-year period of testing and reporting of microplastics levels in drinking water. California Water Boards are finalizing the sampling and testing methodologies.
Naturally, laboratories conducting microplastics analysis will be interested in these methodologies, even if they are not directly impacted. After all, standardized testing methodology can play a crucial role in harmonizing analysis, leading to more reliable data. Likewise, instrumentation providers are responsible for ensuring their products can assist users in applying these methods. With reference to the Agilent 8700 LDIR, we will explore these methodologies and how fast and automated infrared analysis of microplastics can assist.

Characterization of Elastomers by Thermal Analysis

Elastomers are highly versatile elastic polymers that can be stretched or compressed yet return to their original shape when the stress is removed. Found in a diverse range of items including rubber bands, seals, and tires, they play a crucial role in both industry and daily life. Due to their high temperature dependence, thermal analysis is a powerful tool for understanding elastomer behavior under varying temperature and stress conditions.

Join our upcoming webinar to find out what shapes your elastomers and enhance your knowledge in thermal analysis!
