Characterization

Flow-IR

For the research on new materials at HIPOLE Jena, synthetic reactions can be monitored by online infrared (IR) measurements in order to gain important structural information for optimizing and understanding reactions.

ATR-IR-Spektrometer

For the research on new materials at HIPOLE Jena, their characterization by infrared (IR) spectroscopy is carried out using an ATR-IR spectrometer.

Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC)

For the research on polymers, thermal characterizations are carried out which includes differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for the measurements of thermodynamic data, e. g. melting temperatures and glass transitions.

Thermogravimetrische Analyse (TGA)

For the research on new polymers, their thermal characterization is carried out which includes thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in order to investigate thermal stability and decomposition processes of the polymers.

Rheometer

For the research on new polymer-based materials, their flow properties in gel and viscous-type states can be characterized over a wide temperature range using a rheometer.

HPLC

For the research on polymers, analytical separations of compound mixtures are carried out using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system.

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC)

For the research on new polymers, the determination of molar masses and mass distributions by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a fundamental characterization step in order to optimize synthesis conditions and tailor polymer properties for future applications within HIPOLE Jena.
