The lab provides cutting-edge tools for assessing the chemical, thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of polymers.
The PerkinElmer DSC 4000 is used to investigate the thermal properties of materials by measuring the heat flow associated with temperature-induced transitions. This technique enables the determination of key parameters such as glass transition temperature (Tg), melting temperature (Tm), crystallization behavior, phase transitions, and thermal stability. DSC analysis is widely applied to polymers, composites, pharmaceuticals, and other advanced materials for research, quality control, and product development.
Key capabilities:
The PerkinElmer TGA 8000 is used to evaluate the thermal stability and composition of materials by measuring changes in mass as a function of temperature or time under a controlled atmosphere. This technique provides valuable information on decomposition behavior, moisture and volatile content, oxidation resistance, and filler or residue content. TGA is widely employed for the characterization of polymers, composites, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials.
Key capabilities:
The PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FTIR Spectrometer is used to identify and characterize materials by measuring their infrared absorption spectrum. FTIR analysis provides information on the chemical structure, functional groups, and molecular interactions present in a sample, making it a powerful tool for both qualitative and quantitative investigations. The technique is widely applied to polymers, composites, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and environmental samples.
Key capabilities:
The PerkinElmer DMA 8000 is a high-performance instrument used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of materials as a function of temperature, frequency, time, or applied stress. By measuring the material's response to a controlled oscillatory force, DMTA provides detailed information on stiffness, damping behavior, and molecular mobility, making it one of the most sensitive techniques for investigating thermal and mechanical transitions.
The technique is widely employed for the characterization of polymers, composites, elastomers, coatings, and biomaterials, enabling the evaluation of structure-property relationships and material performance under real operating conditions.
Key capabilities:
The Mettler Toledo Titrator enables the accurate determination of water content in liquids and solids using Karl Fischer titration, one of the most reliable methods for moisture analysis. This technique allows the quantification of water over a wide concentration range, from trace levels to high moisture contents, making it particularly suitable for quality control, research, and material characterization.
Moisture analysis is essential for assessing the quality, stability, and performance of a wide variety of materials, including oils and polymers. The automated system ensures high precision, reproducibility, and compliance with international standards.
