Low Viscosity, Electrically Conductive Epoxy Meets ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity Standards

Master Bond EP4G-80Med is a one part epoxy designed for use in the assembly of medical devices. This system is formulated with a non-metallic, graphite filler, which leads to good thermal and electrical conductivity. It possesses a thermal conductivity of 1.44-1.73 W/(m•K) and a volume resistivity of 50-100 ohm-cm.

New Technique can Help Discover the Crystalline Structure of Any Substance

Crystals reveal the hidden geometry of molecules to the naked eye. Scientists use crystals to figure out the atomic structure of new materials, but many can't be grown large enough. Now, a team of researchers report a new technique in the January 19 issue of Nature that can discover the crystalline structure of any material.
