A Salt Spray Corrosion Tester machine in a laboratory.
Salt Spray Corrosion Test Chamber is a specialized laboratory instrument designed to evaluate the durability of materials in aggressive, salt-rich environments. It replicates corrosive real-world conditions in an accelerated and controlled setting.
A C-THERM instrument
CTHERM-85110525 thermal conductivity instrument to measure the thermal properties of nano polymers and composites that will be developed.
A Pencil Scratch Hardness Testing kit.
Pencil Scratch Hardness Testing Kit is a simple yet effective tool used to evaluate the surface hardness of coatings and thin films. It is widely used in materials science and surface engineering to assess resistance to scratching and abrasion. In this project, it will be used to evaluate the hardness of coatings and thin films and compare the performance of nano-based materials. 
A Coating Adhesion Testing kit.
Coating Adhesion Testing Kit (Pull-Off Test) to measure the bond strength between a coating and its substrate. It is essential for evaluating how well protective layers adhere under mechanical stress. 
A side by side picture of a Sonicator Machine and a Mechanical Stirrer machine.
Sonicator (Ultrasonic Processor) is used to achieve uniform dispersion of nano particles within liquid media. It is especially important in developing high-performance polymers with consistent properties. 

Mechanical Stirrer. Similar to the sonicator, this stirrer is to prepare uniform coating formulations by thoroughly blending liquid components and solid additives.
