Polymers & Composites

Polymers and Composites

As we navigate the transition from a linear economy to a circular one, one of the biggest challenges the world faces is reimagining the lifecycle of materials, particularly polymers and composites.

Characterization is vital for tackling these challenges. Through precise detection, identification, sorting, and quantification, HORIBA unlocks the potential of polymers and composites in the circular economy.

In R&D and Quality Control, thorough characterization is crucial for meeting several key objectives:

  • Finding alternative sources and synthesis processes for polymers, ensuring their sustainability, and reducing dependence on finite resources,
  • Maintaining and enhancing the performance of existing polymers,
  • Ensuring compliance with existing regulations,
  • Reducing the quantity of materials used,
  • Evaluating and mitigating toxicity,
  • Understanding the overall environmental footprint of polymers.
     

HORIBA offers a range of instruments tailored for identifying polymer structures, viscosity, elasticity, and thermal properties. These instruments enable precise characterization of polymer composition, structure, and behavior, essential for research and development in polymer science and various industrial applications. For specific needs, HORIBA can develop and customize solutions into manufacturing, sorting, and recycling processes.

These solutions help professionals to stay engaged in the analysis, development, and quality assurance of polymers and composites. Join us as we develop innovative solutions and best practices to address these challenges and pave the way toward a more sustainable future.
