Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation to provide valuable analysis for raw materials, as well as finished product. These instruments are utilised to develop new material systems, optimise performance and select the most appropriate resources for certain applications. In addition, some of these instruments are used to ensure the quality of incoming raw materials and outgoing products are acceptable.

The laboratory is equipped with:

Temperature modulated differential scanning calorimeter (TMDSC)

Dynamic mechanical thermal analyser (DMTA)

Optical microscopy

Sectioning, grinding and polishing equipment

Fatigue and creep testing equipment

Inter-laminar shear strength testing instrument

Heated water bath

Ovens
