# Polymer analysis for the energy and nuclear industry

## Your needs: analyze polymers for the energy and nuclear industry

First of all, what is defined as a polymer is a large molecule formed by the linking of several groups called monomers. Polymers are particularly used for their lightness, their flexibility or their insulating properties.

As a result, each polymer is formulated to have specific properties or performances that meet the specifications of a specific field of application.

### Why analyze polymers for the energy and nuclear industry?

In addition to providing a better understanding of a material, polymer analysis allows for a better apprehension of its structural problems but also its defective quality. 

Indeed, the analysis of polymers can answer several problems in particular:

- Understanding the origin of a failure
- Analyze the compatibility of polymers with the energy and nuclear fields
- Ensure the longevity and safety of the material used.
