Many different commercial products can be formed from polymer films, which are thin unbroken plastics consisting of nylons, bioplastics, polyethylene or other components.
The water sorption qualities of a material can be defined through Dynamic Vapor Sorption, a method which provides quantitative gravimetric observations obtained from monitoring mass alterations following environmental changes.
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), the most prevalent oxide of nitrogen and important pollutant, is created and discharged upon the combustion of fossil fuels in various industrial mechanisms.
The identification of the mass, morphology and molecular structure of polymeric materials (both synthetic and natural) is termed polymer characterization.
AZoM spoke to Beckhoff at PPMA 2018 about their PC control technologies and what they hope to get out of the conference this year.
The advent of 3D printers offers so much potential in a number of disciplines, from creating bespoke on-demand bone implants to printing aircraft parts: it may even play a role in helping to reduce the amount of plastic waste dumped worldwide.
