Fractography is a method in failure analysis for studying the fracture surface of materials. Studying the characteristics of the fractured surface can help to determine … Read more

Fibers are often tailored for their respective product using coatings. For example, absorbency or hydrophobicity can be built into fabrics using coated fibers. The surface … Read more

Fiber-based filtration systems clean everything from the air we breathe to the oil that runs our engines. Many filters, like high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and … Read more

Filtration and fibers used to separate liquids from particles or particles from air play an important role in our everyday lives. Filters help to clean … Read more

Ceramic applications often require determination of mechanical properties on an as-manufactured part. Automated indentation, also referred to as instrumented indentation or nanoindentation, provides hardness data … Read more

Ceramics often have grain sizes and microstructure that impact material performance. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images are used to quantify the grain sizes and distribution. Grain … Read more

Nanoindentation and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) may be used as complementary techniques to evaluate ceramic processes. A grid pattern of nanoindents can be mapped with hardness … Read more

Ceramics typically include a combination of ionic and covalent bonds to form a material with high modulus and hardness, high melting point, high thermal expansion … Read more

There are multiple manufacturing processes for fiber production. Depending on the physical and/or chemical properties of the materials to be used in some techniques are … Read more
