Technical Sharing | Application of High-Temperature Gel Permeation Chromatography (HT-GPC) in the Analysis of Polymer Molecular Weight Distribution
GPC is widely used for measuring the molecular weight distribution of polymers. Some polymers, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are insoluble at room temperature. Due to their insolubility at room temperature, a special high-temperature GPC system is required to keep them in solution during molecular weight distribution analysis.

Technology Sharing | Effect of spline type on high strain rate testing of PP for automobiles
When the high-speed tensile testing machine is used for automotive PP testing: a) the test effect of 1BA spline is relatively good, and it is recommended that S3A spline should not be selected for high-speed tensile test if conditions permit; b) there are shortcomings in the oscillation effect of the three specimens, and the specifications of the high-speed tensile specimens need to be further optimized; c) although the same material is tested, but only the form of the spline is changed, the yield stress obtained by the three spline tests is very different, and the reasons need to be further explored.
