For semi-crystalline polymers, the crystallinity rate is a key parameter which directly influences mechanical properties, such as mechanical resistance or stiffness, as well as thermal and gas barrier ...

Polymer crystallinity has a huge impact on the physical properties including melting point, density, permeability and storage modulus. Therefore, it is important to understand the extent of ...

To convert polymers from raw materials into the final product, a processing stage is required that involves a molten state, commonly known as melt. The final product will normally be in a ...

Atoms or molecules in a crystal are organized in a periodic and regular way. Crystallinity is referred to the extent of structural order in solid products, such as powders and pellets. Compared to ...

Coordination nanosheets are emerging 2D materials with a wide range of applications. However, highly crystalline nanosheets are difficult to synthesize through solution-based approaches. In a recent ...

The racemic compound (R, S)-(±)-ibuprofen is a popular and well understood active pharmaceutical ingredient, but it has several disadvantageous formulation properties such as poor solubility, low ...

Solubility, polymorphism, crystallinity, and crystal habit of acetaminophen and racemic (+/-)-ibuprofen were determined by initial screening of 23 solvents for scale-up. Solubility curves were ...

This series of articles is designed to help molders understand how a few analytical tools can help diagnose a part failure problem. Michael Sepe is our analyst and author. He is the technical director ...
