Mechanical, DMA & Impact Testing

Temperature-dependent mechanical, viscoelastic, fatigue, bending, compression, tension, shear, and impact testing for polymers 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.
