Eliminating a major bottleneck in polymer testing

Polymer processing | Lucivan Barros, Ph.D., Sr. Applications Scientist

 

See how an integrated compounding and injection molding workflow can reduce sample prep variability, minimize handling, and improve reproducibility for polymer testing workflows.


Struggling with pelletizing certain materials?

Polymer processing | Lucivan Barros, Ph.D., Sr. Applications Scientist

 

Some materials do not form stable strands and need to be handled in a smaller form. See how face-cut pelletizing can help process brittle, elastic, or high-viscosity materials directly at the die face.


Key decisions in twin-screw polymer compounding

Polymer processing | Lucivan Barros, Ph.D., Sr. Applications Scientist

 

Explore key decisions in twin-screw polymer compounding, from feeding and temperature control to mixing, cooling, and downstream processing.


About the Live from the Lab videos

Live from the Lab is a short-form video series featuring Thermo Fisher Scientific application scientists working with real lab workflows. The series is designed to make application expertise more accessible by demonstrating practical techniques, showing common challenges, and explaining process considerations directly from the lab.
