Polymer Preparation and Characterization
Our lab is experienced in a variety of polymer preparation, fabrication, and characterization techniques. We have the equipment and resources to assist TAMU and external individuals in a fee-for-service basis.
Frequently Used Polymer Techniques
- Fully outfitted for polymer synthesis, and coating/hydrogel/scaffold preparation*
- Spectroscopy (e.g., NMR, FTIR)
- Chromatography (e.g., GPC)
- Microscopy (e.g., SEM, confocal)
- Thermal analysis (e.g., TGA*, DSC*, DMTA*)
- Surface analysis (e.g., contact angle analysis, ellipsometry, XPS)
- Mechanical analysis (e.g., quasi static testing*, DMA*)
