In the last post we discussed the background work that led to my interest in evaluating if the dielectric response during curing was related to the rheological response. We showed that the equations for both measurements were similar. In this post we will highlight some important differences in the two measurements and show how the similarities can also be ...

Dielectric Cure Monitoring Part 1: Background
In previous posts we discussed how rheological techniques can be used to characterize the viscosity changes during thermoset curing. Dynamic parallel plates provide a means to measure the complex viscosity during either isothermal or non-isothermal cure profiles. When I was at IBM my rheology work was focused on understanding the chemorheology during the lamination process ... [Click to Continue...]
Free Agent Nation: Are you a Member?
Happy New Year and Best Wishes for a Prosperous 2015 I read an very interesting article over the weekend in Fortune Magazine (January 2015) titled “Start-up: You.” The premise of the article is that employment as we have known it had fundamentally changed. Additionally, the way on progresses in your career is also different. Gone are the days of corporations guiding you ... [Click to Continue...]
