Key to materials research are Intertek laboratory capabilities for the determination of fundamental electrical, optical, rheological, tribological and mechanical properties.

Intertek material laboratories offer an unrivalled capability with molecular and elemental analysis, surface and interfacial science and morphological characterisation to support processing and physical property determination techniques.

The Intertek MSG Surface Science team offers a world class capability in XPS and SIMS which can be brought to bear on many materials challenges, for example in adhesion and adhesives development.

Intertek Intertek physical property laboratories laboratories offer fracture mechanics, high speed impact, fatigue, creep and other long term property determination, including novel and highly instrumented wear, lubricity, friction and scratch techniques, which are all supported with X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, electron, optical and laser scanning microscopies to support fracture and property understanding.

Intertek scientists have the capability to undertake demanding materials science projects using the optimum tools for each particular project. Contact Intertek for more information.
