The processing and application-relevant surface properties of materials are determined on the basis of tactile, optical and destructive methods. The physical and topographical parameters to be determined, for example, hardness, scuff and mar resistance, degree of gloss, surface reflection, conductivity, surface tension/resistance, roughness and grain depth can be used to identify property-function relationships, providing important information for material development, process and quality control as well as for the identification of functional failures and certain damage patterns (e. g. delamination of layers) of materials.
Join us for the Freiberg Collagen Symposium, September, 29-30, Freiberg/Germany
The symposium is an established meeting point for scientists, manufacturers, and users from around the world who focus on topics related to collagen—such as collagen extraction and processing, analytics, synthetic collagen and collagen peptides, simulation and modeling, and medical and pharmaceutical applications.
