Overview
The university is seeking to procure a micro compounder, injection moulder, and platen press to support advanced research into novel nanocomposites-materials that combine nanoscale fillers with polymer matrices to achieve enhanced physical properties. These tools are essential for enabling precise and flexible sample preparation, which is critical for investigating mechanical, thermal, and structural characteristics of newly developed materials. - The micro compounder must be capable of processing very small quantities of polymers and additives, ideal for R&D involving expensive or rare substances. - The injection moulder should allow for the creation of standardised test specimens with tight control over temperature, pressure, and mould geometry. - The platen press must offer programmable pressure and heat settings to form composite sheets or layered samples.
The machines will be used in conjunction with each other and must demonstrate their inter-compatibility.
