Finding solutions with porous polymers
Porous polymers are the unknown science behind many of the products used in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. From diagnostic tests to UV disinfection chambers and countless other applications, the different types and functions of porous polymers can be used to improve product performance and flatten the COVID-19 curve.
Join Avi Robbins, Porex vice president of product development and R&D, as he explains how to use porous polymers in specific applications being used to flatten the COVID-19 curve. Among the applications they will explore in the webinar are:
Attendees will learn about the three core technologies of porous polymers used in these COVID-19 applications – sintered particles, bonded fiber, and open-cell foam – and how they are used inside finished products to achieve key functionalities such as absorption, filtration, venting or wicking. For each application, we will discuss key design & assembly questions for the porous components that engineers should keep in mind when designing the end device.
Perfect for design and manufacturing engineers who have either a potential product concept or need to improve an existing product, this webinar will explore the science behind specific applications being used to flatten the COVID-19 curve and how to pick the materials most suitable for your design needs.
