| We
provide measurement service and consulting in
related areas of dielectric sensing, including high-
and low-frequency characterization and microwave
cavity characterization for the wireless and
electronics industries. Other testing services
include thermal analysis (DSC), thermal conductivity
measurements (ASTM C1114, sheet material with l
< 0.5 W/mK) and infra-red
spectroscopy for identification of polymers and
additives. Our consulting draws on our unique
combination of high-frequency physics and material
(polymer) science geared to industrial application. |

| We perform
Dielectric Spectroscopy and Impedance Spectroscopy
continuously over the frequency range 10 Hz to 10
GHz. We use standard impedance methods below 10 MHz
and a combination of Time
Domain Reflectometry and Microwave
Cavity methods above 10 MHz. |
| We perform
thermal analysis using differential scanning
calorimetry (Perkin Elmer DSC7) to determine glass
transition temperature, heat capacity, melting and
crystallization phenomena, polymorphic transitions
and curing kinetics. A temperature range of -30C to
700C is available. Analysis of polymers and
additives using spectroscopic techniques such as
FTIR and UV spectroscopy are also performed. |

| We
are a leader in applying Dielectric Spectroscopy to
practical process-monitoring applications. Our staff
has over 15 years experience in the field,
and maintain relations with top researchers in
academia while focusing on applied areas of
interest to industry. In developing dielectric
spectroscopic methods for polymer-composite and
concrete applications, we have also developed unique
methodologies for millimeter-wavelength
measurements in a variety of polar and conducting materials. We
have published papers on the methodology and its
application to process monitoring. |
