Analysis of Separator and Binder Materials in Lithium Ion Batteries

Binder materials are responsible for holding the active material particles within the electrode of a lithium-ion battery (LIB) together to maintain a strong connection between the electrode and the contacts. These binding materials are normally inert and have an important role in the manufacturability of the battery.

Using Dynamic Vapour Sorption to Analyse Foodstuff Moisture Content

The relationship between foodstuffs, their internal water content and any external moisture has a huge impact on food quality and shelf life. As a result, it's important for food manufacturers and distributors to understand exactly what this relationship is.

Using SEM to Optimize Polymer Properties

The form of the molecule greatly influences the behavior of the polymer when subjected to different external forces. This article provides practical examples of how scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) can deliver surprising results.
