IV Explained – Part 1
In this video blog, you will learn the theory of IV (Intrinsic Viscosity). We take you through why IV is used, and how it is calculated and basics of measurements.
CrystAllinity in Polymers
Crystallinity in a semi-crystalline polymers is important for achieving material properties. This blog takes you through the basics and factors affecting the crystallinity in polymers.
Viscosity Models
Viscosity models are used in day to day calculation in polymer industry. This blog explains viscosity basics, different models and models used in Moldflow and Moldex3D simulation software.
Polymer Properties-Basic data
I have added properties table for most of the polymers which includes Tg, Tm, Young’s modulus and thermal properties which are used for selection of polymers. Thanks to NETZSCH – GMBH for the data. You […]
