ESD Surface & Volume Resistance Testing

Electrical resistance and ESD characterization for conductive, static-dissipative, and insulating polymers, coatings, films, molded parts, and composites. Elect Nano uses this capability as part of application-driven materials programs where test setup, sample format, and data interpretation need to match the end-use requirement.
