Applications of Physical CharacterisationThe 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 ApplicationsProduct development and formulation Determination of product specificationsDetermination of stability and shelf lifeControl and assessment of raw materialsGeneration of Quality Control dataAnalysis of performance loss during useMaterial regenerationDetermination of consistencyIdentification of factors influencing performanceInvestigations into product failureEconomising material usageDetermination of the effects of additivesDevelopment of process control Provision of critical QbD framework dataLitigation 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.
