Porous polymers are the little-known science inside many of the products we use every day, providing key functionalities to products as diverse as coloring markers, plug-in air fresheners, pipette tip filters and pregnancy tests. In this webinar, learn about the different types and functions of porous polymers and how they can be applied in just about any industry. Join Nadia Hajjar, category manager for life sciences, as she helps attendees explore the science behind the different porous polymer technologies and how their functional capabilities can provide game-changing differentiation to medical device and IVD manufacturers.
Perfect for design and manufacturing engineers who either have a potential product concept or need to fix a problem with an existing product, this webinar will explain how to select the right type of material for your application and how the POREX® collaborative design process works.
What you’ll learn:
- Learn the technical differences between the four core technologies of porous polymers – sintered particles, bonded fiber, porous membranes, and open-cell foam
- Understand how each porous technology can be used to achieve various functionalities in the medical device or diagnostic test – with a focus on filtration, wicking, venting and topical application.
- Learn why pore size and pore volume matter to the end product.
- See the technology in action in specific medical device & IVD examples – including inhalers, injectables, topical applicators, and lateral flow tests.
