Rapid detection of oxidative aging in polymer materials

Polymer materials are rising stars in the field of materials science, yet their rate of development far outpaces that of traditional materials. With their diverse structures and wide-ranging applications, they meet the needs of numerous industries. However, the combined effects of various environmental factors inevitably lead to material aging, which compromises performance and service life. Consequently, the need for rapid, timely testing of polymer materials has become increasingly urgent.

The Ultra-High Sensitivity Material Oxidation Analyzer (CLA), manufactured by Tohoku Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd. (Japan), has gained widespread acclaim and is extensively used by universities and enterprises across Japan; industry standards for its use have also been established in the country.
