Intertek material science laboratories provide clients with extensive scientific experience in materials characterisation, material structure and materials processing. Expertise includes, but not limited, to plastics and polymers, composite materials, electronics, coatings, slurries and colloids, ceramics, adhesives and metals. Key to materials research are Intertek laboratory capabilities for the determination of fundamental electrical, optical, rheological, tribological and mechanical properties.
Intertek material analysis laboratories offer an unrivalled capability with molecular and elemental analysis, surface and interfacial science and morphological characterisation to support processing and physical property determination techniques. The Intertek MSG Surface Science team offers a world class capability in XPS and SIMS which can be brought to bear on many materials challenges, for example in adhesion and adhesives development.
Intertek physical property laboratories offer fracture mechanics, high speed impact, fatigue, creep and other long term property determination, including novel and highly instrumented wear, lubricity, friction and scratch techniques, supported with X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, electron, optical and laser scanning microscopies to support fracture and property understanding.
Intertek scientists have the experience, resources and capabilities to undertake demanding materials science projects using the optimum tools for each particular project. Contact Intertek for more information on how our research network can be put to work supporting your project and business.
