X-AT has an established track record of writing and winning bids for research project funding, with a current project portfolio worth in excess of £3.5m.
X-AT
Based within the Harrison building, we are a multi-talented team dedicated to commercially oriented research in the core themes of advanced manufacturing and materials development.
Facilities
X-AT has a wide range of testing facilities available for various materials properties. These include:
- Thermal Analysis
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA), Thermaogravimetri Analyzer (TGA) and Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA). - Rheology Measurement
Melt Flow Index (MFI), Rotational Rheometer and Capillary Rheometer - Spectroscopy
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIR), Raman probe spectroscopy and Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV). - Surface Analysis
Talyscan 150 system and Renishaw Cyclone System - Microscopy
Optical microscopes equipped with digital camera for real-time image and video capturing capability.
- Mechanical Testing
A collection of testing machines that are used for tensile, compression and various impact experiments. Capabilities ranging between 1 kN to 300kN. - Injection Moulding and Extrusion
Used for rapid sample preparation as well as mixing molten polymer materials and extrudite formation.
Access
If you wish to access the facilities above, please contact our Laboratory Manager, Tommy Shyng. Please prepare a clear description of your need and send it along with your request. This helps to speed up the review process so proper equipment and necessary training can be arranged in a timely manner.
