In addition to the fundamental and applied experimental studies, COMRESLAB conducts QC and characterization tests on composites and nanocomposites. The below services can be done by COMRESLAB as a test center for industrial centers based on their inquiry and certain costs and official test reports will be issued. The list of experiments which can be conducted in COMRESLAB is as below:

  • Full characterization of composite laminates consisting of:
    • Longitudinal and transverse tensile tests
    • Longitudinal and transverse compression tests
    • In-plane shear test
  • Three-/Four-point bending test
  • Impact resistance test
  • Impact energy test
  • Strength of glass and carbon fibers
  • Strength and modulus of resin
  • Interlaminar shear strength using short beam
  • Strength of specimens produced by filament winding method (NOL-ring test)
  • Fiber volume fraction
