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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
