HERITAGE LAB

The Heritage Laboratory of the Center is equipped with the latest generation of advanced instrumentation for a total and precise chemical-physical analysis of any type of sample such as polymers, plastic materials, pigments, stone materials (stones and marbles) and lithoids ( bricks, mortars, plasters), ceramics, wood, metals, nanostructured materials, high viscosity fluids, photovoltaic materials, bituminous materials.

In addition to normal laboratory instruments, the main equipment is:

• FT-Raman spectroscopy
• Infrared spectroscopy with a microscope (micro-FTIR) equipped with an ATR objective
• Raman spectroscopy with microscope (micro-Raman)
• ATR infrared spectroscopy
• Portable FTIR spectrometer
• Thermal analysis (TGA-DSC and MDSC)
• X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD)
• Rotating spreader
• Benchtop extruder
• Viscometer
• Mercury porosimeter
• Optical and stereoscopic microscopes
• Rooms with air conditioning
• Preparative for thick and thin sections
• Microclimate probes
