Date: 16th June 2021 Time: 10.00pm-11.30pm (Malaysia Time) This webinar explores the innovative use of current and future composites, in the development of exoskeleton technology, in the company of Dr Matt Dickenson, Senior Lecturer of Engineering at the University of Central Lancashire. Dr Dickenson is currently developing a groundbreaking exosuit, utilising 3D printing technology,…
Research, production and analytical laboratories worldwide rely on spectroscopy and other characterization tools for the rapid development of new innovative materials and the efficient qualitative and quantitative analysis of those materials. This is evident in areas such as forensics, polymers, food & beverage, and pharmaceuticals. With these tools, labs can identify dangerous substances, support polymer…
What are Microplastics? A microplastic is a small piece of plastic that is <5 mm in size. Plastics that measure under 100 nm are regarded as nanoplastics. The presence of microplastics in the environment and our food chain is of growing concern. This has led to increased testing for the presence of microplastics in a…
Date: 21st April 2021 Time: 10.00pm SGT High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is the method of choice for the analysis of complex and variable samples. Conventionally, manual user intervention is necessary between each step of the HPTLC workflow. With the CAMAG HPTLC PRO System, the era of full automation throughout the entire workflow begins. In this…
Date: 28th April 2021 Time: 2.00-3.30pm Venue: Webinar (Login details to be provided after registration) In this webinar, we’ll introduce 4 different techniques: XRF, XRD, FTIR and Raman, and their applications in forensic case analysis. Sample types include everything from ink to drugs to explosives. All techniques are a non-destructive and require almost no sample…
Biopharmaceutical manufacturers are increasing their testing regimes and increasing their efforts to raise current production levels. However, due to bottlenecks in current testing procedures, it’s not always easy to shorten testing times. In this webinar, Shaileshkumar Karavadra, from Thermo Fisher Scientific, addresses the role of Raman spectroscopy in the rapid release of raw materials through…
The sustainable use of raw materials in a way that conserves resources and protects the climate has been of central importance to the environment, the economy and society for many years. Our use of plastics for instance in everyday items and manufacturing processes has resulted in a deluge of slowly degradable materials entering our environment…
Date: 3rd March 2021 Microscopy and Raman imaging are proving to be valuable technique for the characterization of graphene, biomaterials and other nanotechnologies found in materials science research. Unlike most characterization techniques, Raman is extremely capable of classifying various forms of carbon. In this webinar, you can discover more applications possibilities of Raman Characterisation for…
When manufacturing high-quality components using a variety of materials, it can be very advantageous to have knowledge not only of a material’s thermal properties but of its thermophysical properties as well. High-performance methods by NETZSCH for determining thermal diffusivity and calculating thermal conductivity are helpful in answering important materials-related questions in the areas of product…
