For the synthesis and characterization of bio-based polymeric materials, the institute is well equipped:

• FT-IR (ATR) spectrometer for the qualitative and quantitative structure analysis
• Viscometry
• One and two dimensional GPC / HPLC systems for the determination of molar mass, particle size and functionality distributions by means of static and dynamic light scattering detection and various other concentration detectors
• Oscillatory rheometer for the determination of the visco-elastic property profile and curing behavior of liquids, solids and reactive polymers. Temperature range: -150 to 600 ° C
• Thermal analysis by means of differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis
• For material characterization, different testing machines and methods are available in an air-conditioned laboratory. Load range:  <1 g to 1 t.
