Determination of the coefficients of friction
Our laboratory has just installed a system for measuring the coefficient of friction to meet the international standard ISO 8295.

Indeed, the use of biomaterials systematically generates concerns about the sustainability of such materials. Attempts have therefore been developed to characterize the kinetics of (bio)polymer degradation. The main standards currently available focus on the monitoring of microbial attack through the O2 consumption, the CO2 release or just the loss of mass.
These tests have two main disadvantages:
Hence Matériau Ingénierie, in collaboration with the Yelen, has developed a rapid and reproducible method for tracking the degradation.
The full article of the study of the degradation of PLA by Luminotech is available here.
