Polymer Science

The Creganna Innovation Centre has a dedicated team of polymer scientists who research and develop new polymer based solutions for use in medical device access and delivery systems.

Areas of research and development include complex polymer solutions such as PEEK, and advanced polymer composites.

In collaboration with external specialists, the team undertake polymer research including:

  •  XPS – X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
  •  SSIMS – Statics Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
  •  DSIMS – Image depth profiling, 3-D imaging
  •  Polymer orientation and texture measurement
  •  SAXS – Small angle X-Ray Scattering
  •  Microscopy and mapping
  •  DSC – Differential Scanning Calorimetry
  •  TMA – Thermomechanical Analysis
  •  TGA – Thermogravimetric Analysis
  •  DMTA – Dynamic Mechanical Analysis
  •  FTiR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy) and Raman Spectroscopy 
  •  Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
  •  Mechanical testing – creep, tensile, flexural, compression, shear, biaxial, indentation and fracture
