Recently, a new case history and sample report was added to the website. This is an XPS surface analysis investigation of the surface coatings applied to polyethylene fibers which were to be used to make protective armor. The protective armor manufacturer needed to know what the surface coatings were.
The report and case history is found here.
Analytical laboratory providing materials characterization, failure analysis, quality control, materials and process development, and expert witness services. Among our capabilities are surface analysis (XPS or ESCA), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), electrochemistry and corrosion analyses, thermal analysis (TGA, DSC, TMA), and microscopy (SEM/EDX, metallographic, and profilometry).
