Using state-of-the-art electronics to safely generate the required high-voltage DC pulses, the Elcometer 280 Pulsed DC ­Holiday Detector detects holidays in coatings without the need to ground the gauge to the substrate.

This viscosity test protocol for the mVROC viscometer achieves viscosity measurement using only 20 µL of sample fluid, the lowest micro-sample measurement in the industry.

PosiTector SPG Surface Profile Gage measures and records peak-to-valley surface profile height in accordance with ASTM D 4417-B and others.

When trying to define intelligent data logging, it is useful to compare it with traditional data logging.

University of Houston, USA, researchers have recently developed and verified a new route for synthesizing superior forms of entangled or knotted polymers with pre-designed characteristics for use in applications such as drug delivery and smart coatings.

Researchers use the Viscotek TDAmax as a tool to monitor the progress of reactions and to evaluate the extent of control in polymerization reactions.

Development teams at Steuler KCH Materials GmbH (Siershahn, Germany) are using the Kinexus rotational rheometer from Malvern Instruments to help analyze the rheological characteristics of products such as spray coatings.

New particulation testing at Bayer's Medical Coatings Development Centre in Sheffield, England allows the company to better assess the quality and safety of the customer parts it coats.

The tools are in place to bring about a pervasive change to current processes of sieve certification and calibration.

Researchers working at NanoQAM, the nanotechnology research centre of the University of Quebec (Montreal, Canada), are successfully innovating novel polymer coatings on the basis of data measured using a Viscotek high-temperature gel permeation chromatography (HT-GPC) system from Malvern Instruments.
