Chemical and physical polymer analysis
Polymer materials feature a wide variety of chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical and optical properties. Whether you deal with rigid or elastic polymers, deformable or flowable materials, we will develop appropriate est methods and carry out professional analyzes around polymers and adhesives with thermoanalytical, spectroscopic, optical, rheological and mechanical methods. The Polymerics team has an extensive infrastructure available to handle these tasks. If you don't find the method you want here - ask us! We would be happy to find a partner institute that can help you.
Our service range
- Spectrometry: FTIR, UV/VIS, Raman, XRF
