# Copolymer Materials Analysis Laboratory

## Your needs: validate the quality and performance of your copolymers

A copolymer is a polymer resulting from the copolymerization of at least two types of monomers. It is therefore formed of at least two repeating units. 

[Copolymers](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/copolymer-materials-analysis-laboratory.md) have physico-chemical and mechanical properties that are intermediate to those obtained from polymers alone. 

However, faced with these even more complex structures, the chemical analysis and characterization of copolymers becomes an important step in the control of their transformation and the prediction of possible [failures.](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-analysis-polymer-defect.md) 

Plastics manufacturers, raw material producers, processors, finished product manufacturers, you are looking for the skills of a reliable[analytical laboratory](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory.md) with high technical added value for the analysis and [characterization](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory.md) of your copolymer materials.

## Our solutions: support you in the analysis and characterization of your copolymers.

By combining [specific analytical tools](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory.md) for polymers and copolymers with reliable and accurate scientific interpretations, FILAB laboratory assists manufacturers in optimizing their manufacturing processes, in the search for substitute [materials](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/optimize-the-performance-of-your-polymer-materials.md) and in solving failure problems on copolymer materials.

With a strong experience in the [analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/life-cycle-of-an-analytical-method-in-the-laboratory/analytical-development/analytical-development-for-the-polymer-and-composite-industry/) of copolymers and a large analytical facility, FILAB offers the following services 

- [Characterization of copolymers](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-analysis-composite-material/): study of physicochemical and thermal properties by DSC, ATG, ATG-FTIR, GPC, NMR, SEM and FTIR
- [Custom chemical analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory.md) to determine the components of a copolymer: search for additives by GC-MS, Py-GCMS, LCMSMS, CI…
- [Deformation](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-deformulation-analysis-reverse-engineering/laboratory-reverse-engineering-plastic-polymer.md) of copolymers
- Determination of the molecular structure by GPC
- [Compatibility study](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/stability-testing-medications-and-active-ingredients.md) between copolymer materials and fluids
- [Analytical development related to the dosage of additives in copolymers](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/life-cycle-of-an-analytical-method-in-the-laboratory/analytical-development/analytical-development-for-the-polymer-and-composite-industry/)

## OUR RESOURCES

- Organic chemical analysis: GCMS, Py-GCMS, LC-MSMS, GPC, NMR, FTIR
- Inorganic chemical analysis: ICP, XRD, IC
- Thermal analysis : ATG, DSC
- Powder analysis : XRD, SEM-FEG EDX, BET
- Surface analysis: SEM-FEG EDX, XPS, TOF-SIMS

These thermal analysis and physico-chemical characterization techniques are adapted to a large panel of copolymer materials, and allow to better know the performances and the quality of copolymer materials.
