The amount of automation used in the materials testing is increasing. This article discusses the trends for the use of robotic testing systems.
The characterization of composites and plastics under extreme temperatures can be difficult as performance becomes less reliable in these conditions. It is critical to have seamless integration of the temperature chamber and the extensometer in order to produce the best measurements.
This article discusses software for the materials testing industry.
Polymerphys IK is a highly respected plastics testing laboratory. They recently expanded with ZwickRoell in order to further increase their testing capabilities. This will allow them to continue being a go-to laboratory for testing needs.
Lithium-ion battery life strongly correlates with the adhesion strength between substrate and the electrode coating. Utilizing ZwickRoell AllroundLine testing machines to examine this adhesion strength thus provides a good measure of the mechanical bond before any usage has occured.
Phase change materials (PCMs) have been explored in recent years for their potential applications in a wide range of cutting-edge technologies.
