Superalloys to the Rescue

Superalloys, combine two ore more elements of which one is Ni, Co, or Fe, and provide strength, toughness, and durability at high temps.

From Rock to Rare Series: Part 3 – Production

Rare earth magnets power some of today’s most advanced technologies. Part 3 of this series explores how the magnets are produced, challenges of maintaining purity at every step, and why precision analysis is essential for building a reliable supply chain.

Characterization of Crystalline structures – SEM-EBSD vs TEM-PED

Besides images provided by SEM and TEM, different attachments can be added to reveal crystalline information, including (SEM-EBSD) and TEM (TEM-PED).

Food Packaging Materials Testing

Food packaging materials can be made with plastics, paper and board, glass, metal, wax, and printing inks. These packaging materials are directly and indirectly in contact with our food.

Survey scans below show a common hydrogel lens material (poly hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) without (Figure 1) and with (Figure 2) the incorporation of a hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) co-polymer. It is clear that XPS can detect PVP based on the nitrogen in the PVP-containing lens.
