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.
