Replacement of Key Instrumentation in the Soft Materials Characterization Laboratory

Description:

A replacement differential scanning calorimeter, thermogravimetric analyzer and advanced rheometric expansion system will update core instruments that meet researchers’ soft materials characterization needs. The new instruments will offer expanded experimental parameters, new insights into physical and chemical properties of materials and higher quality measurements.

The Soft Materials Characterization Laboratory Center is a shared resource facility with instrumentation for characterization of synthetic polymers, soft materials and polymer devices.
