Master the Secret Weapon for Product Performance: An Introduction to Porous Polymers
Porous polymers are the little-known science inside many of the medical devices and diagnostic tests we use every day, providing key functionalities to products as diverse as inhalers, arterial blood gas syringes, and molecular diagnostic analyzers. This webinar will explain how to select the right material and technology for your application, perfect for engineers who either have a new product concept or need to fix a design or manufacturing problem. Attendees will learn how the multiple types of porous technologies can be used to absorb, apply, diffuse, filter, vent, or wick in various types of medical devices & consumables and diagnostic tests & analyzers.
In this webinar, you will:
- Explore Types of Porous Polymers: Dive into the different types of porous polymers, including sintered porous plastics, porous fiber, porous foam, and porous membranes.
- Review Characteristics and Material Options: Learn about the important characteristics of porous polymers, such as pore size and volume, and the different material options available.
- Discover Applications of Porous Polymers: Learn through detailed examples how porous polymers can be used in various applications, from fluid absorption, diffusion, and wicking to their use as applicators in coloring markers and medical devices.
- Examine Filtration, Venting, and Media Support: Investigate how porous polymers are used in filtration and venting processes and how they can act as a support for various media or incorporate media into their porous structure.
