This lab has instruments for characterizing polymer and composite materials (and products made of these materials) in terms of chemical and physical structure and properties. This includes special instruments for characterizing surfaces (chemical...
We offer both standardized and tailored mechanical testing solutions for a wide range of polymer and composite materials, components and industrial applications.
In this lab we produce test specimens and simple product prototypes of polymer and composite materials. Effects of processing and recycling can be studied. Furthermore, new material formulations can be compounded, e.g. by blending polymers or by...
In this lab we synthesize polymer materials from monomers. We also modify commercially available materials and make formulations for tailored applications. A third field of R&D is chemical degradation studies to establish routes for chemical...
Modern production of high quality metallic materials requires advanced knowledge of pyro-metallurgical processes. SINTEF optimises metallurgical processes and raw materials, using a combination of laboratory scale and pilot scale experimental...
High temperature materials are commonly defined based on their maximum application temperature with respect to the materials melting temperature, which strongly depends on the applied stress-level and the resistance to corrosive environments. Our...
The Reservoir laboratory provides methods and equipment for performing experiments at reservoir and production conditions.
SINTEF has established a large laboratory for battery research in Trondheim. Here we are further developing our competence and expanding our research activities on materials for different battery technologies. SINTEF Battery Lab also contains an R&D...
SINTEF Pore Imaging Laboratory is an advanced national and European research infrastructure comprised of multifaceted X-ray imaging facilities, with advanced analysis tools, and fast computing power.
