The Hall of Polymers Pvt. Ltd. research team performs research on polymeric materials that are used in nuclear weapons systems. Our core missions are in directed stockpile work, enhanced surveillance research, and in special problems for the weapons program. Our team of scientists and engineers provide creative approaches to solving problems for a several customers in polymers.

Our team studies the aging of a variety of polymer materials. Our methods include accelerated aging (thermal and radioactive) of polymer materials. Once a material has been artificially aged, they are studied using a variety of techniques such as compression set, mechanical properties (compression and tensile), chemical properties. These properties are compared at different times and under different accelerated aging conditions to produce a time-temperature superposition analysis to determine the properties that can be expected at different times in the component lifetime. These results can be used to determine if a component will have the required performance over a long period of time, therefore predicting a lifetime for the material.

The Hall of Polymers Pvt. Ltd. team also maintains the ability to produce small-scale parts and adhesives for a variety of applications for the polymers product. This includes not only small-lot production of these specialized materials, but also the expertise to make recommendations on polymer/adhesive use for specialized uses.
