Research offer:
The laboratory includes a technological section to produce porous carbon and carbon-polymer materials and a measurement section to determine the properties of the resulting materials.
Commercial use:
- specific surface area analysis;
- distribution of pore size and volume in meso- and macroporous materials;
- determination of true density and open porosity,
- determination of elastic properties,
- analysis of thermal decomposition of substances,
- high-temperature processing of materials (up to 1500°C with the possibility of using an inert or partially oxidising atmosphere)
