Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis
qualitative technique often used for the analysis of defects in polymeric materials and metals. The SEM technique, literally Scanning Electronical Microscopy, exploits the excitation of the electrons inside the atoms of the sample to take a "photograph" of the piece...

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
Quali-quantitative thermoanalytical technique capable of exploiting the increase in temperature and inert or oxidizing atmospheres to identify the quantity and nature of the various components of the compounds. The thermogravimetric technique therefore exploits the increase in temperature and the change...

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Thermoanalytical method that allows to measure the energy exchanges and therefore determine the thermal characteristics and phase changes of the material, in addition to the % crystallinity of the semi-crystalline polymers. Differential scanning calorimetry, as can be guessed from the...

Transmission infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR)
Qualitative technique for the identification of the molecular nature of materials such as rubbers and plastics. Each organic material has its own infrared spectrum, determined by the vibrational modes of the atoms and their chemical surroundings in the molecule itself....
