Applications

Micro Photonics has provided mechanical testing since more than a decade. We have accumulated knowledge in testing various and sometime challenging materials such as:

  • Hardness and Elastic Modulus of porous materials or foam
  • Adhesion, friction coefficient and scratch resistance of coatings on cylindrical shapes and wires.
  • Adhesion of gold, silver, copper, tungsten layers to various substrate such as Silicon, glass and GaAs
  • Adhesion of coatings on fiber optics
  • Hardness and Elastic Modulus on paper, metal foils, or plastic films.
  • Friction coefficient on soft polymers, small medical device parts, and contact lenses.
  • Wear testing on unusual parts such as credit cards and sponges.
  • Marring test for paints such as car paints.
