- INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS
Polymers
Our instruments provide detailed insight into specific sorption properties and surface details of polymers essential to assessing their potential for advanced new industrial applications.
From new medical solutions to improved packaging performance, we enable researchers to study gas permeability, vapor sorption, diffusion coefficients and beyond, to optimize their new polymer.
Key Challenges We Solve
Understanding moisture-material interactions is critical for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing
Barrier Performance
Measure gas and vapour permeability to design polymers with optimal barrier properties for packaging and separation applications.
Environmental Stability
Quantify moisture sorption and plasticisation effects to predict polymer performance under varying humidity conditions.
Material Selection & Formulation
Characterize diffusion and sorption behaviour to guide polymer selection and optimize blends and additives.
Lifetime & Durability Prediction
Evaluate long-term transport properties and environmental interactions to predict ageing and material degradation.
