Crash Course Recap: Lichtenberg Figures
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMGLYkzU67g[/embedyt] Lichtenberg figures are named after German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who originally discovered them. They’ve also been called Lichtenberg trees or “trapped lightning.”
E-beam Crosslinking vs Chemical Crosslinking
Crosslinked foams have improved physical properties over non-crosslinked foams and often go into more demanding applications, particularly where tolerances are more important, such as:

What is e-beam technology?
Electron beam processing is a technology with a broad range of commercial applications. It provides users with an effective and efficient means to bring about useful changes in the properties and performance of polymers and other materials. The technology is also widely used for the sterilization of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Crash Course Recap: Does e-beam make my products radioactive?
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDw35w1VLTY[/embedyt] One question we get a lot is: Does e-beam make my products radioactive? The short answer: No! The (slightly) longer answer:
How high-dose testing can be used to simulate radiation exposure for the nuclear industry
Nuclear reactors and radioactive materials play an important part in our society, such as the use of radioisotopes for medical treatments and the production of carbon-free energy. But using radiation in a safe and beneficial manner requires a deep understanding of the materials involved and their potential reactions to radiation. Shielding materials for medical isotopes […]
How does crosslinking improve wire and cable insulation?
When wire and cable is irradiated by electron beam, the electrons crosslink the jacket, improving performance characteristics – such as higher tensile strength, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and improved thermal resistance at elevated temperatures – without changing the dimensional properties.
Electron Beam Rheology Control

If you’re manufacturing a specialty film, bottle, foam, or other plastic product, the standard off-the-shelf grades offered by the big resin manufacturers don’t always meet your needs.
What are some different types of ionizing radiation?
Radiation with wavelengths shorter than 10–10 m is considered ionizing radiation, because it can ionize the molecules it encounters. Gamma, x-ray, and e-beam are examples of ionizing radiation, whereas microwaves, radiowaves, and UV are considered nonionizing.
How do I sterilize my labware?
This might be a trick question. Depending on its end use, sometimes labware doesn’t need to be sterilized. It needs to be bioreduced.
