Analysis Masterclass for Polymer-Based Advanced Materials
In this webinar, you will learn about the analytical techniques and best practices for testing polymer-based advanced materials, from early R&D through to production quality control. Discover how to leverage both macro- and micro-level IR analysis to optimise formulations and enhance material performance. Learn how to maximise the value of your thermal analysis instrumentation to diagnose production issues, evaluate VOCs, and support reverse‑engineering projects.
This webinar is highly relevant to key industrial markets working with adhesives, sealants, coatings, paints, and 3D‑printing additives. Technologies covered will include FTIR, TGA, and hyphenated techniques such as TG‑IR and TG‑IR‑GC/MS.
