Description

TEKNIKER laboratory specialising in the physicochemical, thermal, mechanical and compositional characterisation of solid materials, fluids and coatings.

The laboratory integrates complementary analytical techniques, including thermal analysis (TGA, DSC, DMA), rheology, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction and fluorescence (XRD and XRF), FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. These techniques provide a comprehensive profile of the material under investigation, ranging from its chemical composition to its behaviour under temperature variations, mechanical stress and degradation conditions.

Equipment

  • TGA thermogravimetric analyser
  • Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), with and without pressure capability
  • Dynamic mechanical analyser (DMA)
  • Discovery HR-2 controlled-stress rheometer (TA Instruments)
  • LECO N/O and LECO S/C elemental composition analysers
  • X-ray diffractometer (XRD)
  • X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF)
  • Raman spectrometer
  • FTIR spectrometer
  • Particle size analysis and specific surface area measurement equipment
