Biopolymer and Polymer Analysis

The molar mass distribution is an important characteristic of polymeric materials. However, oftentimes thermal and mechanical properties as well as the chemical composition of (bio) polymers are of great interest. With the methods available at Fraunhofer IGB, polymeric materials can be comprehensively characterized with regard to the respective application.

 

Infrared Spectroscopy and Microscopy (FT-IR)

 

Raman Spectroscopy and Microscopy

Tensile, Compression and Flexure Tests

Material testing machine e.g. for the determination of breaking load and modulus of elasticity.
