Identification of polymers by benchmarking
Purpose Of Polymer Benchmarking: Purpose of polymer benchmarking varies within the industries or even within the department of an industry. So, purpose of the benchmarking must be clear before we start the activity. Predominantly irrespective of the type of industry, below are the major reasons for which material benchmarking is done. 1) Material selection 2) Quality improvement 3) Cost & Performance Analysis In this blog, we will discuss about the material selection from benchmarking point of view and other topics will be covered in the upcoming blogs. Material Selection : Material selection is a primary role for any practicing polymer engineer. Most of the resources spent in any material R&D is for the right material selection for the intended application. Material selection from a benchmarking perspective involves three steps. Material identification, composition analysis and Evaluation & Selection. Material Identification: In the material identif...
