Indenting Glasses With Indenters of Varying Stiffness and Sharpness

A group of researchers developed a spray coating method that maintained transparency while possessing superhydrophobic properties. The team quantified the surface roughness using AFM, which complemented optical microscopy, TEM and SEM. Author Johan F.S. Christensen, N.M. Anoop Krishnan, Mathieu Bauchy, Morten M. Smedskjaer Abstract In this study, the effects of both indenter sharpness and stiffness on the indentation response of oxide glasses…

Achieve the Efficient Production of High-Quality Cement Through Elemental, Mineralogical and Particle Size Analysis 

“Every step in the cement production process is important for achieving maximum efficiency and quality. From stockpile management, production of raw meal, preparation of kiln feed, production of clinker – to the final grinding and mixing of the end product – process and quality control are driven by elemental, mineralogical composition and particle size analysis.
See attached picture as well as brochure.”

Particle Size Analysis of Cement Using the Technique of Laser Diffraction

The shelf life of a product is defined as the practical time that it remains desirable to consumers. Correctly determining the shelf life of a product can be a challenging endeavor, often due to a lack of resources and clear guidelines for conducting shelf life testing. The shelf life simplified paradigm takes a pragmatic approach to shelf life determination by using the relationship between water activity and shelf life to guide the process.
