Applications of Physical Characterisation The   analytical   tests   offered   by   MCA   Services   provide   a   wealth   of   information   describing   the   physical   and   physico-chemical   nature   of   materials, including   porous   characteristics   and   chemical   activity.   Such   information   is   invaluable   to   many   sectors   and   applications,   for   example:   as   part   of routine   quality   control,   raw   material   assessment,   product   research   and   development   and   product   failure   investigations.   Some   examples   of   sectors and applications that have benefited from our analytical techniques and insight are: More information about applying our analytical options to specific materials and sectors is also available on separate pages via the menu above.

The   porous   characteristics   of   materials   often   have   profound   effects   on   aspects   of   research   and   development,   formulation,   fabrication   and performance   during   end   use.   Porosity   may   be   described   by   a   combination   of   features:   specific   surface   area,   pore   volume,   pore   size   distribution, pore   geometry,   particle   size   and   geometry   and   sample   density.   These   are   often   considered   in   combination   to   obtain   a   complete   description   of porosity   and   can   be   applied   to   virtually   any   solid   form,   from   fine   particulate   matter   through   to   larger   solid   forms.   Some   typical   applications   of porosity measurement and assessment are shown below:
Key Applications Product development and formulatio n Determination of product specifications Determination of stability and shelf life Control and assessment of raw materials Generation of Quality Control data Analysis of performance loss during use Material regeneration Determination of consistency Identification of factors influencing performance Investigations into product failure Economising material usage Determination of the effects of additives Development of process control Provision of critical QbD framework data Litigation support and patent formulation

At   MCA   Services   we   have   vast   experience   in   the   characterisation   of   materials   and   are   always   happy   to   advise   the   most   appropriate   option   for   a given   material   and   application.   We   routinely   liaise   with   our   clients   and   partners   in   data   interpretation   exercises   to   ensure   that   the   most   pertinent information is obtained and is directly related to sample materials, applications and specific aims.
