“Smart” materials respond to external stimuli by alteration of one or more of their physical properties. These and other innovative materials are being progressed providing such characteristics as shape recovery, compression strength, adhesiveness, hardness or rigidity – the mechanical properties depending upon the purpose of the material.Stable Micro Systems manufactures Texture Analysers/Materials Testers to test the mechanical properties of all types of products or materials by applying a choice of compression, tension, extrusion, adhesion, bending or cutting tests to measure a product’s mechanical properties.
