Services
We help to design characterization and quality assurance methodologies, improve material properties, determine failure mechanisms, and aid in processing schemes. Our projects range from rapid routine testing to extended contract-based development. Projects are conducted under our Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
Consultation
Cambridge Polymer Group consults on a wide range of projects dealing with polymers. Companies routinely use our scientists and facilities for out-sourced research projects. Our past projects have included the following polymer systems:
- Balloon catheters
- Pharmaceuticals
- Product recall analysis and prevention
- Crosslinked polyethylene
- Radiation treatment of polymers
- Bone cement
- Adhesives
- Intraocular Lenses
- Cleanliness of Biomedical devices
- Materials for total joint replacements
- Sterilization procedures
- Testing facilities for litigation
- Consumer Products
- Dyes, inks, and paint
Analytical Testing
With years of expertise in material analysis, we do more than furnish our clients with raw results. We will act as your partner throughout the process. We will suggest the appropriate battery of tests and we will assist in building the test methodology. Our reports contain a detailed description of the work conducted and provide interpretation and opinions on the obtained results when appropriate.
- Rheological Analysis
- Morphological Analysis
- Chemical Analysis
- Biomedical Analysis
- Mechanical Analysis
Custom Instrumentation Design
Our scientists have designed and produced novel specialty equipment to test many mechanical and chemical parameters for polymers. We can provide anything from consultation on a new design to the fully manufactured prototype. If you can not find equipment to measure the parameter you need for your process, contact us for a free consultation.
