COMPOSITE MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION LAB's TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE DEVICES AND DETAILED TESTING CAPABILITIES.

UV-Vis

•Brand/Model: Perkin Elmer/Lambda 35

•Wavelength interval: 190 – 1100 nm

•Band width: 0.5 – 4 nm

•UV-Vis is used to measure the absorption and reflectance values of the material under visible light.

DSC

•Brand/Model: Perkin Elmer/DSC 4000

•Minimum temperature: -100 °C

•Maximum temperature: 450 °C

•Technology: Thermal analysis

•DSC is used to measure absorbed or released the energy of the specimen while it is heated, cooled or kept under constant temperature.

TGA/FT-IR

Right:

•Brand/Model: Perkin Elmer/TGA 4000

•Maximum temperature: 1000 °C

• Technology: Thermal analysis

•TGA is used to determine loss or gain of a mass of the material as a function of temperature or time.

Left:

•Brand/Model: Perkin Elmer/Spectrum Two

•Operating temperature: 5 – 45 °C

• Technology: Infrared

•FT-IR is used to determine a spectrum of extracted gases during TGA.

DMA

•Brand/Model: Perkin Elmer/DMA 8000

•Dynamic capacity: 0 – 600 Hz

•Minimum temperature: -190 °C

•Maximum temperature: 400 °C

•Technology: Thermal analysis

•DMA is used to determine a viscoelastic behaviour of materials by applying to increase and decreasing load at a certain frequency.
