This webinar explores the complex rheological behavior of polymer powders and their impact on processing performance in applications such as sintering, coating, and additive manufacturing. Participants will explore the interplay between intrinsic factors—including molecular weight, polymer architecture, and crystallinity—and extrinsic factors like temperature, and applied stress. The session will emphasize how these parameters govern the behaviors of powders.
Attendees will also learn about rheological characterization methods and how to interpret data to optimize powder formulations and processing conditions. Real-world examples will demonstrate how fine-tuning rheology can improve and reduce defects in powder-based manufacturing.
This webinar is designed for materials scientists, polymer engineers, coatings specialists, additive manufacturing professionals, and R&D teams seeking to deepen their understanding of polymer powder behavior
