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 ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University have created a device that can quickly and inexpensively determine whether new pharmaceutical formulations have trace crystallinity that can ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a device that can quickly and inexpensively determine whether new pharmaceutical formulations have trace crystallinity that can negatively impact the drug's stability and ...

In order to transform polymers from raw materials into a completed product, there is a need for a processing stage involving a molten state, often called melt. After cooling, the final product will ...

The crystallization kinetics of solid polymers affects their nanoscale structure and the degree of crystallinity, and in turn, plays a significant role in the specific mechanical and physical ...

Scientists examined the mechanisms behind the resistance at the electrode-electrolyte interface of all-solid-state batteries. Their findings will aid in the development of much better Li-ion batteries ...

Researchers have been intensively developing novel X-ray scintillators that exhibit excellent X-ray absorption, high light yield, enduring physical/chemical stability, and robust radiation resistance.

Scientists have identified a naturally occurring iron mineral that can trap toxic chromium in ...
