To be used for a given application a material must present selected properties.

A rigorous analysis requires suitable tools and perfect knowledge of the physical parameters of interest.

Equipped with " standard " measurements, we are trying to find a solution to particular needs : sample geometry, environment conditions (temperature, pressure, nature of surrounding gas).

Characterizations can be done in the area of :

• chemistry
• mechanics
• structure
• texture
• thermodynamics
• optics
