Fibers and Fillers
Fiber and filler materials are employed in a diverse array of applications. Whether forming layers of a composite or serving in textiles manufacturing, understanding the sorption and intermolecular behaviors of your core materials are key to developing successful materials.
Our instruments provide precise, accurate data for determining sorption behaviours, diffusion properties, surface properties, swelling behaviour, and more.
Key Challenges We Solve
Understanding moisture-material interactions is critical for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing
Moisture Effects on Fibers
Measure sorption and swelling to predict fibre performance under varying humidity.
Composite Reinforcement
Characterize filler–matrix interactions to optimize composite material properties.
Processing Stability
Evaluate moisture uptake to improve processing and manufacturing conditions.
Material Durability
Understand diffusion and moisture transport to predict long-term fibre stability.
Customer Success Stories
How leading researchers use SMS technology
Case Study
University of Carthage
Ultrasound-extracted fibers enable biodegradable fiberboards
“Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) analysis indicated that fibers… exhibited higher water vapor adsorption. The resulting fiberboards were cohesive and exhibited good mechanical properties.”
Case Study
BOKU University
Oil palm fibers enable sustainable insulation panels
“OPT foam panels are well within reach of current non-bio-based insulation materials and perform equally well.”
Case Study
University of British Columbia
Enabled moisture-driven actuators
“The bilayer film exhibits large deformation toward moisture… short response time of 12 s, good stability.”
