Sample Preparation and the Impact on Results
Sample preparation is an often-overlooked part of the material analysis process, never-the-less it is critical to achieving consistent and high-quality results. Improper sample preparation can lead to poor results or even damage process equipment. This webinar will discuss the importance of sample preparation and different methods for activating samples. Emphasis will be placed on activating […]
Smart and Programmable Sponges from Design and Synthesis to Implementation
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 […]
Texture of Heterogenous Catalysts Webinar: Surface Area and Porosity
Why is heterogeneous catalysis important? How does it enable faster, large-scale production and selective product formation? Listen to what Dr Luca Lucarelli, Technology Application Consultant with Micromeritics and highly experienced in the field of catalyst characterization, has to say about key techniques in catalysts characterization. See how basic characterization of catalysts is of fundamental importance […]
Understanding Surface Area Measurements Webinar
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 […]
Unified Approach to Understanding Porous Materials
This webinar presents a generalized approach to modeling the pore size distribution which has been developed to determine the complete distribution of macro-, meso-, and micro-pores.Rather than using a fragmented approach of simple overlays from individual techniques, the Unified Method provides a full pore size distribution and improved estimate of total pore volume of the […]
Best Practice for BET Surface Area
The specific surface area of a material, often referred to as BET surface area, is an important parameter throughout all kinds of industries. Whether it is in the field of adsorbents, additive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or catalyst research, this parameter helps in quality control, to optimize processes, and improve material performance. Even though the determination of […]
Physical Characterization Methods for Cathode Powders
Anytime a powder is used in a process for a specific purpose, its behavior is often predicted by physical properties of the powder. Determining the physical properties of a cathode powder can be used to decide which properties are critical to the performance of the cathode, as well as the battery in which it is used. A sample of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) powder was characterized to determine […]
Analytical Methods to Ensure Battery Raw Material and Electrode Performance
Do you want reliable tools to predict battery electrode quality and performance in development and production? Do you want to reduce scrap and increase process yield? The use of appropriate analytical technologies can allow you to accelerate electrode design based on new formulations and processes, and reliably control product quality. Rigaku and Micromeritics will together […]

Rapid & Precise Surface Area Analysis
The Measurement of Pharmaceutical Binders Using the TriStar II Krypton Option
The TriStar II’s Krypton Option can measure materials with surface areas as low as 0.001 m2/g and is ideal for difficult-to-measure pharmaceutical binders. Pharmaceutical binders such as micro-crystalline methylcellulose (MMC), lactose, and gelatin typically have surfaces areas under 2 m2/g and, therefore, are perfect candidates for krypton adsorption with the Tristar II analyzer. Advantages of […]
