Soft Materials

Characterising soft materials like polymers, elastomers, foams, and gels requires highly sensitive equipment capable of handling low forces and high deformations.

Precision Testing for Soft Materials and Polymers

Deben provides tailored in-situ mechanical testing stages Optimised for the unique behaviour of flexible materials.

Our systems allow you to track polymer alignment, crazing, and viscoelastic recovery in real time under an electron microscope or X-ray CT scanner. Whether you are optimising consumer packaging, developing flexible electronics, or testing automotive rubber compounds, Deben’s precise displacement and load control ensure accurate data. Witness exactly how your soft materials deform and recover at the microstructural level.

Advanced Soft Material Capabilities:

  • Extended travel stages: Accommodate high-elongation materials and elastomers with ease.
  • Micro-load sensitivity: Accurate data capture for low-modulus gels and foams.
  • Environmental control: Test material properties across varied humidity and temperature ranges.

Upgrade your polymer research and product quality with Deben’s expert testing solutions.
