Primary applications of our instruments involve measuring electrical, optical, spectroscopic, thermal, viscosity and ultrasonics properties of chemical mixtures and plastics at various stages of the manufacturing process.  We have experience monitoring plastics compounding using twin screw extrusion machines, resin temperature during injection molding of plastics, solidification and shrinkjage during injection molding, tempertaure in polymer extrusion machines, and exfoliation of clays during nanocomposites compounding.  Both in-line and off-line instruments have been developed for these applications.

See the three product pages for descriptions of the dielectric slit die for measuring dielectric properties, temperature measurements based on fluorescence spectroscopy, optical transmission measurements, fluorescence spectroscopy, ultrasonics measurements, and the combinatorial micro-rheometer for viscosity measurements.
