Small Test Reactors 10 mL
- Reactoren
Premex: These small-scale reactors can be used for rapidscreening of pressure reactions. Heating can be provided by an external bath (e.g. oil) or multiple reactors can be placed in a heated metal block. Magnetic stir bars may be used for agitation.

Compression molding
- Verwerking
Merk

Compression molding is used to produce sheet specimens for use in e.g. DMTA, rheology or tensile tests. The desired thickness of a film specimen can be achieved by choosing the right die from the range available. A cassette cooling system is in place for cooling the molds.
X-RAY Diffraction (XRD)

Crystalline and amorphous content
Crystallite size

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the crystal structure of materials. It operates on the principle of detecting diffraction patterns when X-rays are scattered by the atoms within a crystal lattice and relating these patterns to the different atomic planes within the crystal. XRD enables the identification and quantification of crystal structures using an extensive database. The technique is useful for assessing the crystallinity of polymers, identifying the type of crystalline fillers in a composite, and characterizing minerals and metals.
Infrared Camera
- Karakterisatie
Merk

The ultra-compact and highly precise IR camera has a large dynamic range for non-contact two-dimensional temperature measurements across a broad temperature range. It is especially suited for measuring the temperature of materials with high emissivity in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 1 μm, or for measuring temperature through thin layers of materials transparent in this wavelength range. Examples of applications include visualizing and recording the evolution over time of temperature profiles of solid and molten metals during various processes or observing heat development in materials contained in quartz sample holders.
Electrochemical Testing

Merk
-10 – +10 V
0,03 % – 100 % of current range

A variety of different electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, chronoamperometry and galvanic corrosion, can be used with the Octostat instrument that is designed for a wide range of applications related to electrochemical performance of materials for a prolonged period of time. In combination with a coin cell crimping machine, it is possible to prepare and test up to eight battery cells in parallel. Different electrochemical cells and electrodes are available for tests in specific gas and liquid environments.
