Dr. Jeff Bodycomb from HORIBA Scientific presents information about measuring the size and zeta potential of emulsions.
Emulsion behavior is often determined by droplet size. Evaluation of droplet size by laser scattering is a time-tested method for checking product quality or performance. In addition, surface charge is often a factor in predicting emulsion stability. And that can be measured by scattering as well. Whether you are trying to create emulsions for food, pharmaceutical, or other purposes or trying to break emulsions for water treatment, this webinar is for you.
Jeff will cover the following topics in this webinar:
* Track particle size of emulsions
* Choose which measurement technology is best for your emulsion system
* Use zeta potential to more effectively break emulsions
The new frontier in industrial lubricant research: the silicone copolymers.molykotetl
This document summarizes the performance of lubricants based on silicone copolymer chemistry. It begins with an introduction to silicones and their molecular structure. It then discusses the properties of lubricants made from phenyl/fluoro silicone copolymers, including their wear resistance, high temperature stability, and low coefficients of friction. Greases made with phenyl/fluoro silicone copolymers are shown to demonstrate better high temperature performance compared to other common lubricant technologies. The document concludes by summarizing the test results, showing the copolymer-based greases offer improved properties such as thermal stability and corrosion resistance.
The document introduces Dow Corning's new line of phenyl-fluoro siloxane copolymer lubricants. These lubricants offer improved thermal stability and wear resistance compared to traditional silicone lubricants due to their copolymer structure. Grease and fluid formulations were developed with different phenyl-fluoro ratios to balance thermal stability and wear performance. Testing showed the copolymer lubricants outperformed polyol ester and PFPE lubricants in high temperature performance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The new Molykote G-900x grease series was highlighted as a competitive alternative to PFPE lubricants for applications from -35°C to 220°C.

Oligomer & the importance of Oligomer remover-------
Oligomer is a smaller chain length of polyester made up of two or more molecules of basic ethylene terephthlate i.e. dimer or trimer, produced as a side reaction during the manufacture of polyester. The Oligoester because of its smaller chain length is in the form of a fine powder which is entrapped is basic polymer and migrates to the surface during high temperature polyester dyeing.
Higher the depth more is the displacement of Oligomer to the fibre surface. Typically polyester fibres contain between 1.5-3.5% by mass of low molecular esters, the principal oligomer being cyclic tris (ethylene terephthalate) with smaller quantities of dimer, pentamer & other compounds. Approximately 0.1 % to 1.0 % of Oligomer is produced as a side reaction in the manufacture of basic polyester.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
