Composite Materials are finding more and more wide-spread applications in a variety of industries. Well beyond traditional fiberglass and plastics, composites are now made from a number of different plastic, metal, and ceramic materials. Light weight and very strong, composites are used in everything from aerospace and military applications to boats and golf clubs. However, the unique properties of these materials present difficult analytical and testing challenges. Microtek Laboratories has the capabilities to assess the mechanical strength and integrity of these materials and provide you with the data required to evaluate the performance of the product applications.
