Texture analyser

A speciality of our lab is the combination of spectroscopic and mechanical measurements. We have a standalone TAXT2 texture analyser as well as special miniature stretching rigs for use with the IR microscopes.

  • Texture analyser for stress/strain measurements in tension and compression with either 1, 5, or 30 kg load cell.
  • Micro-scale stretching experiments (Minimat)
  • Simultaneous mechanical and spectroscopic measurements.
  • Controlled atmosphere measurements.
  • Dynamic 2D FTIR spectroscopy
