Dynamic
Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
More about this
capability
Dynamic mechanical analysis
measures the stiffness modulus and damping (energy dissipation)
properties of materials as the materials are deformed under
periodic stress. Such measurements provide quantitative and
qualitative information about the performance of the materials.
DMA can be used to evaluate a wide variety of material types
(elastomers, thermoplastics, viscous thermosetting liquids,
composites, coatings & adhesives, ceramics, metals). It
is particularly useful for evaluating polymeric materials.
  Differential
Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
More about this
capability
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measures
time, temperature, heat flow, and by integration of the heat
flow, enthalpy. The most common DSC application is the precise
measurement of transition temperature and evaluation of state
of cure for resin.
Optical Scanning
Profilometry (OSP)
More about this
capability
The MicroXAM surface mapping microscope (ADE
Phase-Shift) is a non-contact, three-dimensional profilometer.
The capabilities of the microscope include measurements of
roughness, finish and texture of surfaces ranging from highly-polished
optics and wafers to rough surfaces, such as rolled metals,
plastics, and ceramics. In addition, the step-height feature
allows imprinted or elevated surfaces to be mapped, such as
micromachined parts or imprinted text. We can quantitatively
characterize surface features at subnanometer resolutions.
Interferometry
More
about this capability
The AK100 4" interferometer provides non-contact
measurement of flat and spherical surfaces, and transmitted
wavefront measurement of optical components and assemblies.
Measurements can be made using simple visual fringe inspection,
static fringe analysis, and phase-modulated interferogram
analysis.
Dilatometry
More about
this capability
The UNITHERM™ 1091
multi-sample dilatometer is a fully computerized dilatometer
system designed to measure dimensional changes of a specimen
brought about by changes in its thermal environment.
Customized Filament
Winding
More
about this capability
CRG combines advanced materials
and process technology with its 4-axis filament winder to
produce complex composite structures with nearly any configuration.
We can fulfill prototyping needs using a variety of fibers
and resins. Prototype examples include symmetrical structures
such as bottles, helixes, circular wraps, and structures complexsuch
as S-curves or structures with complex geometries that normally
would preclude easy removal of the mandrel.
Continuous Industrial
Mixing
More
about this capability
CRG is a beta-site for a Readco Continuous Mixer.
CRG combines advanced materials and process technology with
the Readco Continuous Mixer to produce a homogeneous product
by mixing one or more dry materials with one or more liquid
materials on a continuous basis.
