Chemical analytics
A comprehensive infrastructure allows us to directly understand the various aspects of construction and processing and to analyse the interaction of material properties and their effects in detail.
NMR spectroscopy of a dissolved plastic sample
- Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR, 1H, 13C, 19F)
- Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) with UV and RI detector (LM: THF, HFIP)
- Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
- Viscometry (Ubbelohde) up to 80°C
- UV-VIS spectroscopy incl. integrating sphere (liquid, films)
- X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for the detection of metals
FT-IR microscope
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in combination with microscopy is a powerful and high-resolution analytical technique that is widely used in the fields of polymer analysis and materials science. It enables the detailed investigation of the chemical structure and composition of polymers and other materials at the microscopic level. Some applications and advantages of FTIR microscopy are
- Identification and spatial information of polymers
- High-resolution characterisation of polymer composition
- Structural analysis
- Investigation of functional groups
- Fault diagnosis and quality control
Laboratory equipment
- PerkinElmer Spotlight 400 FT-IR Imaging System (MIR and NIR)
