Multimodal and dynamic characterization platform for polymers and composites

• Physical Sciences

This multimodal and dynamic characterization platform is designed to study polymeric materials and composites. It integrates a dielectric analysis (DEA) module and a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) module, together with accessories for laboratory-scale sample preparation and processing.

The infrastructure is designed to generate advanced data on the physicothermal, rheological, and reactive characteristics of materials, providing insights into their structure, properties, and behavior during processing.

It also incorporates multimodal data analysis and processing software, tools for predicting reaction kinetics, and disposable sensors. These capabilities support the digitalization and optimization of polymer and composite processing and recycling operations, while providing data to feed AI-based models.
