Do you understand the surface area of your powdered raw material? Do you know that it critically contributes to the quality of your manufacturing process? Surface area provides information about the amount of surface available to interact with binders which can offer a prediction of how the powder will behave which results in improved finished…
Does better evaluation of catalyst efficiency and selectivity matter to you? To comprehensively characterize a catalyst, important parameters like metal dispersion, number of active surface sites, redox properties, acidity and activation energy can be measured by various analytical techniques. In our webinar, Dr. Luca Lucarelli, Technology Application Consultant with Micromeritics and highly experienced in the…
Which properties are important when assessing polymer powders for Laser Sintering? Enrico Gallino discusses Characterization Tools for Evaluating Polymer Powders for Laser Sintering. As additive manufacturing (AM) transitions from the fabrication of prototypes to production of end-use parts, understanding the powder properties required to reliably produce high quality parts is critical. Achieving optimal quality not…
Is there a single best particle size technique? Particle size provides important information for research and development, quality control, and quality assurance as well as understanding the small physical details in a milling or powder compaction process. Different analytical techniques seldom provide the same value for particle size. The “paradox” of particle sizing is that…
Find out how industrially relevant powder characterization can optimize your processes. Our guest speaker David Smith, of DJS Process Consulting, brings a 30 year perspective on real world industrial powder handling problems, from raw bulk materials to final packaged products. He presents an industrial perspective on powder flow test methods and scale-up of powder processes,…
Are you involved in Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for sorption applications? MOFs are candidates for many sorption applications due to their advantages of controllable chemical functionality, as well as ordered structure defined by virtually infinite combination of metal cluster and organic linker. Listen to Dr. Katharina Peikert, Technical Application Consultant with Micromeritics, speak about best practices…
Join our guest speaker Dr Omar Farha, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University, where he will focus on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) from basic research to implementation and commercialization. MOFs are a class of porous, crystalline materials composed of metal-based nodes and organic ligands that self-assemble into multi-dimensional lattices. In contrast to conventional porous materials…
Confront the challenges of catalysis characterization. Heterogeneous catalysis is quite possibly the most relevant discipline in the chemical industry, spearheading improvements in process sustainability by improving the exploitation of raw materials, enabling the transition from fossil to renewable feedstocks, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing the environmental footprint. To confront these challenges head on, this vibrant…
Broaden your understanding of solid form analysis. Traditionally a limited number of techniques have been used for physical properties analysis. Now, the opposite is becoming the issue, there are a multitude of good and reliable techniques, that can enrich solid form analysis. So, what should be used? What insights can new techniques add? Where can…
