Those wishing to characterise polymers currently, need to use several analytical techniques to get all the information about a polymer's structure or chemistry

There are a wide range of mechanical testing machines used to test the fatigue for a wide range of different materials within the engineering department. The machines are suitable for a wide range of applications, whether for testing the material or component.

The Infinite Focus Microscope (IFM) is a rapid non contact optical 3D measurement device, which combines the low depth of field of an optical microscope with vertical scanning, traversing across the surface of the sample, to provide high resolution and high depth of field topographical images with a large field of view

The Materials and Engineering Research Institute within Sheffield Hallam is offering Accelerated Weathering services to internal and external businesses.

Thermal conductivity ('k value') is a property of a material that determines how much heat is conducted through it for a given temperature difference

SEM is a very versatile analytical instrument having up to nm-scale spatial resolution. Analytical SEM is extensively used in various types of materials characterization and failure investigations

Good corrosion resistance is frequently a requirement of paint coatings. In addition to the structural damage which will result from under film corrosion, the highly visible nature of many applications, for example, car bodies, makes corrosion an aesthetic problem too

In microscope applications, many of the imaging and vision techniques that are generally applied in industrial macro-environments are not suitable because of several constraints imposed by the micro-environment
