Applications of Mechanical Properties Techniques

From Impact Analytical
 

 

In developing or refining your product, whether it's a high-volume thermoplastic or a specialty coating formulation, you invariably need to consider mechanical properties. To be successful, products must demonstrate competitive (and often superior) performance in their markets. Inherent properties of materials, such as tensile yield strength, impact resistance, and viscoelasticity are critical to the performance of many products.
