NEW Application Note:
Leveraging Contact Angle Measurements to Predict Polymer Blending

Polymers are commonly blended to yield plastics with various material and mechanical properties that suit each product’s functional needs.

From consumer goods to medical devices, manufacturers are working towards creating more sustainable polymer blends, increasing the recyclability of blended polymer plastics, and identifying more stable polymer combinations for a wide range of plastic use cases.

In our new Tech Note, we explore how Contact Angle and its related methods help to predict polymer blending and provide quick and easy determination of whether polymers can form compatible mixtures. We also discuss how these methods can be applied to predict the final morphology of polymer blends to assess which compatibilizers will most improve the final blend.
