What are bondline spacers? Microspheres are widely used as bond line spacers because today’s technological advancements are demanding tighter and tighter tolerances. Assembly of many instruments, especially in electronics, optics, biotechnology, calibration, and medical devices, requires holding precise spacing between parts. Depending on the requirements of the application, a rigid non-flexible bond line may be required. In these circumstances…
What a creative alternative to power-hungry digital displays. This large outdoor billboard is totally environmentally friendly because compared to LCD and LED displays that run on electricity, this display takes no energy to run. This creative outdoor billboard is made with reflective tape, visible only when illuminated by headlights in the darkness, created by ad agency Cossette.? To promote…
What are Custom Janus Particles? Janus particle is anisotropic and refers to a particle, typically of spherical shape, with two hemispheres which may vary in color, optical properties, surface tension, electrostatic charge, magnetic response, conductivity, fluorescence, reflectivity and more. Custom Janus Particles Manufacturing Cospheric LLC uses a patented process to offer a unique capability of manufacturing custom Janus particles…
During scientific experiment design and analysis it is common to need to know the number of spheres per gram of dry material. We have put together the table below to help speed up the process.
For those scientists who are looking to use silver coated materials such as silver coated microspheres in biomedical applications, it is important to understand whether they are bio-compatable. A selection of abstracts and article references related to the biocompatability of silver follow:
Barium Titanate Glass Microspheres are excellent for use as a functional retro reflective additive to paints and coatings. Spheres with sizes of about 50 micron (~0.002 inches) mean diameter provide a small enough size for most coatings while offering a large enough size to reflective a significant amount of light. Barium Titanate Glass Spheres are offered…
High-quality polymer microspheres are commercially available in a
wide variety of colors and with controlled fluorescence, opacity,
specific gravity, particle size distribution, and electrostatic charge,
presenting endless possibilities for use in developing and testing
medical devices. To select the right microsphere for the job, one must
rely on detailed knowledge of the application and on the technical
judgment of…
Electrically conductive microspheres are produced by applying a metallic silver coating to the surface of the microspheres, thus giving the advantages of a metal particle with the additional properties of the core microsphere. Typically hollow glass microspheres are silver coated as this offers the combination of a low density filler and a conductive particle. Coatings with…
