Materials Analysis for Research & Higher Education
Flexible analytical solutions for basic research, materials development, and innovative materials systems
Materials research is an essential foundation for technological progress. From high-performance ceramics to innovative alloys to polymers and composites to semiconductors and functional materials—new technologies often emerge only through a precise understanding of the underlying material properties.
To this end, research institutions and universities require particularly flexible analytical methods that can be used to investigate a wide variety of materials and research questions. Thermal and thermophysical measurement methods provide important information on heat capacity, phase transitions, thermal expansion, sintering behavior, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and numerous other material parameters.
With over 69 years of experience, LINSEIS offers a wide range of measurement systems for research and science—from basic material characterization to the development of complex and novel material systems.
