Particle Sizing Lab
DLS Used to measure particle size of batch solutions by correlation of Brownian motion. Typicaly for sub-micron particle sizes.
Laser Diffraction Measures particle size by diffraction of laser light. Typically run in water and used for particles in micron range.
Mechanical Tester Is often used to measure the mechanical properties of materials via compression or tensile testing. This can give yield strength, stress/strain and Young’s moduli.
Drop Shape Analyser is used to measure either a surface or a droplet of liquid. This can get contact angle measurements, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, surface energy or interfacial tension.
FTIR uses the relatively frequencies of bonds within a material to elucidate which bonds are present. This can be used to follow chemical changes in a material and also for chemical identification when compared to database of known materials.
