Mission

Understanding polymer morphology is key to understanding polymer properties and behavior. In the Microscopy Lab, we work with scientists and engineers to explain material properties as a function of physical characteristics. We provide critical analyses throughout the polymer life cycle–from nascent resin, raw materials, formulations and end-use customer parts. Our wide scope of capabilities allows us to partner in the development process at each of these stages and provide quality images and analysis to promote a better understanding of our materials.
