NETZSCH introduces TGA-FT-IR Database of Polymers

The coupling of a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) with an FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer) has become an absolute must, especially in the polymer industry.

For over 20 years now, NETZSCH-Gerätebau GmbH, the Analyzing & Testing business unit of the NETZSCH group, cooperates with the well-known producer of spectrometers Bruker Optics GmbH.

The newly developed “TGA-FT-IR Database of Polymers” is a database for integration into OPUS spectra search; it contains more than 129 gas phase spectra of 88 polymers obtained by TGA-FT-IR.

The FT-IR spectra represent the composition of the evolved gases at the maximum decomposition rate (DTG peak).

The database is available for NETZSCH instruments coupled to Bruker Optics - Coupling.

An offer request for the CD can be sent directly on the NETZSCH website.

Exploring the Potential of Basalt/Polypropylene Composites

The development of new composite generations with natural fibers offers numerous environmental, economic and social advantages, making these advanced materials a vital area of research and innovation in search of sustainable materials.

As sustainability becomes a crucial aspect of materials science, the focus on bio-based alternatives is growing, and basalt fibers fit perfectly in this context, being excellent candidates to replace traditional synthetic fibers such as glass fibers. Their combination with polypropylene (PP), the most widely used thermoplastic polymer in the automotive sector, allows to ...

Lost your earplugs? NETZSCH may know why!

Sometimes, your hotel turns out – contrary to the description – to be right on a busy road; or your neighbor doesn't turn down their music at night; or you simply have some noisy business of your own. This is when earplugs can help – if they stay in place.

To ensure a tight fit, the earplugs are first squeezed and then inserted into the ear. There, they seal the ear canal and dampen the ambient noise. Unfortunately, the contact pressure in the earplugs reduces over time and, if you are unlucky, they will fall out again after a while.
