Glass, Optics & Coatings

Thoroughly investigate and better understand the properties of films and coatings. Our state-of-the-art instruments support numerous techniques and applications widely used in consumer and commercial applications.

• • Measure material stiffness as a function of temperature, humidity, dissolution media, and/or frequency to better evaluate glass transitions, degree of crystallinity, and stiffness behavior.
  • Identify Specular Reflections to understand how light interacts with solids, refractive index, thin films, and interference patterns, multilayer coatings, and polarization.
  • Analyze the physical properties of glass, commonly used for quality control during manufacturing and heat treatment processes.
  • Measure transmittance, diffuse transmittance, and diffuse reflectance to assess visual clarity, polarization, color stability, scratch resistance, impact resistance, and UV protection.
