Characterization & Testing Services

Powder Characterization »

Our full powder characterization services include comprehensive physical and structural analysis of powders. Along with powder characterization, we have the capability to conduct quantitative and qualitative phase analysis of solids. These analyses include lattice parameter measurements, structural refinement, crystallite size, identification of crystalline phase and quantity. Learn More »

Coatings Characterization »

We have an array of equipment to characterize coatings and free standing films. Our capabilities include characterization of mechanical properties (Taber, hardness), wetting behavior, optical transmission (UV to mid-IR), electrical conductivity, thickness, functional groups (using IR spectroscopy), and microstructure.

Dispersions Characterization »

Extensive characterization services are available for both aqueous & non-aqueous dispersions of nanomaterials. NEI has the capability to assess dispersion stability in terms of pH, electrophoretic mobility, zeta potential & viscosity. Further quantitative analysis of dispersion quality is also available, including solids content, rheology, aggregate size, optical transmission, & transmitted haze. Learn More »

Battery Characterization »

NEI offers cost-effective and comprehensive characterization and testing services for battery materials, such as ionic conductivity, particle size analysis, XRD, BET, EIS, & more. Our staff’s extensive materials background, coupled with our battery expertise, enables us to offer you insight into test results, which is immensely helpful in optimizing new materials. Learn More »

Corrosion Testing »

We have an array of equipment to test metal corrosion in different environments. Our facilities include dedicated systems such as a salt-spray testing chamber, a humidity cabinet, an immersion test chamber, and an electrochemical corrosion test work station (Princeton Applied Research VersaSTAT 3 potentiostat / galvanostat with a standard three electrode electrochemical cell).
