Physical Structure Characterisation Facility team

Our instrument specialists are available to help you decide which technology will answer your thermal property questions. ​

We offer a range of services and techniques for thermal analysis in which the relationship between a sample property and temperature is studied. There are many applications including;​

  • evaluation of thermal stability​
  • detection of the glass transition​
  • determination of the amount of volatile matter in a sample​
  • measurement of melting point temperature and enthalpy​
  • analysis of the viscoelastic behaviour​
