The increased application of inkjet printing within ceramic tile decoration creates a need for advanced ink formulations, engineered to perform optimally at every stage of product use.
This article demonstrates the ability to measure the thickness of a single coating so long as the refractive index and the incident angle of light are known prior to using the film thickness software.
Mixture design is a type of DOE that takes advantage of the fact that the proportions of the ingredients of a mixture must add up to 100% to reduce the number of experimental runs required to evaluate the design space.
A team of coatings industry experts worked together for as many as 10 years on the testing and adoption of this standard. The methodology in this new cycle applies not only to automotive coating systems with steel and plastic substrates, but can also apply to aircraft coatings as well as coatings for other industries.
Infrared spectroscopy is one of the few analytical techniques considered by the forensic science community to have the highest discriminating power required to provide confirmatory evidence about the chemical composition of a material.
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is used extensively to characterize the chemical composition of trace evidence such as paints, fibers and adhesives as well as seized drugs and related chemicals. Thermo Fisher has recently introduced the Thermo Scientific™ iS™50 ATR module, a novel, extended-range attenuated total reflectance (ATR) module that is integrated into the Nicolet™ iS50 FT-IR spectrometer.
