Temperature scanning stress relaxation (TSSR) is an efficient method to characterise the temperature-dependent relaxation behaviour of polymers. This report shows the applicability of a Modular Compact Rheometer (MCR) from Anton Paar with an additional lower linear drive for TSSR tests on various elastomers to study polymer-specific properties such as cross-linking state, thermal degradation and molecular relaxation.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗹? Nickel is a silvery, hard, ductile, ferromagnetic transition metal. The neat element can hardly be found on Earth, but it is claimed to form the Earth's core together with iron. Nickel is found in sulfidic, oxidic, and even arsenic minerals. Furthermore, it forms various alloys with iron and copper and is typically accompanied by cobalt. The vast majority of nickel is used for the production of stainless steel and nickel-iron alloys, which are used to manufacture various consumer goods. It is the typical plating material for corrosion protection of metallic items, and in minting, nickel alloys are very common too - the US 5 ct coin, is even nicknamed the "nickel". In synthesis, various nickel complexes are used as catalysts in bond-forming reactions or oxidations. Nickel salts are often used as dopants in preparation of nanomaterials, especially for energy storage, And nickel-based MOFs are prepared as efficient gas absorbers. All these processes can be significantly enhanced under microwave irradiation, as demonstrated by numerous examples in our free application database: https://bit.ly/3PlMuHt #applicationdatabase #microwavesynthesis #chemistrythatmatters #metalcatalysis

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀? Last we learned about the importance of stirring in microwave synthesis. But also the right reaction temperature. is crucial. What to do I f you have no idea at all where to start? In classical conventionally heated chemistry you pick a solvent and then you have a range from room temperature to the boiling point to play with. But the sealed vessels in a microwave reactor allow much more temperature variations. A rule of thumb gives you two easy and safe options to start with microwave heating: Either go 10 °C beyond the boiling point of the solvent or start with 120 °C, then heat for 10 min. The low temperatures bear no risk of substrate degradation, extended pressures, or unexpected violent reactions and after 10 min already some effects should be observable in a TLC check. Depending on the results you can further optimize by increasing temperature and/or time until full conversion of your starting materials. For details consult our microwave synthesis text book which can be requested FOC: https://loom.ly/HUZfypw Or play around with our online tool on our World of Synthesis hub to find a feasible starting point: https://loom.ly/LpTzZd0
