Notice Title

Staffordshire University - Micro Scratch/Indentation Tester System

Notice Description

Staffordshire University is leading the development of the Staffordshire Advanced Materials Incubation and Accelerator Centre (SAMIAC). The aim of SAMIAC is to stimulate innovation, product development and growth in advanced materials in the Staffordshire region. A key element of SAMIAC is the development of a research, prototyping and innovation laboratory workspace for which we are seeking to purchase a Micro Scratch/Indentation Tester (MST) System to characterize the practical adhesion failure of thin films and coatings with a typical thickness below 5mm and for the analysis of organic and inorganic coatings as well as soft and hard coatings. Applications will include thin and multilayer CVD, PVD, PECVD, photoresist, lacquers, paints, and several other types of films. The MST system will be used by local companies and researchers to support advanced microelectronics, optical coatings, protective and decorative surface coatings.
