Facilities
Differential Scanning Calorimetry - DSC
Netzsch 200 F3 Maia Differential Exploratory Calorimeter. The instrument allows the identification of the thermal properties of the material and is conventionally used for polymer analysis. The temperature range covered is -70 to 400°C, with the possibility of applying an inert or oxidative atmosphere.
Analytical Thermogravimetry - TGA
Netzsch 209 F3 Tarsus Thermogravimetric Analyzer. Equipment for analyzing the degradation of materials, within the ambient temperature range up to 800°C in an inert or oxidative atmosphere.
Parallel Plate Rheology
Anton Paar MCR 302 parallel plate rheometer. The instrument provides information about molar mass and viscosity. Furthermore, it is possible to perform flow-induced crystallization tests. The maximum operating temperature is 400°C and an inert atmosphere is used.
Viscometer
Anton Paar automatic micro viscometer. The instrument provides information regarding the intrinsic viscosity of the material and its molar mass.
Goniometer
Goniometer ramé-hart model 260. This instrument are based with sessile drop interfacial analysis. The analisis are realize, with water and diiodomethane.
Parallel Twin-Screw Extruder
This instrument is ideal for a variety of compounding workflows, including to the developing formulations for polymers.
FTIR
Cary 630 FTIR Spectrometer. This instrument providing fast quantitative and qualitative information.
