The scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation is to determine the microstructure of the material and chemical analysis performed by EDS. The objective of the proposed testing procedure is to compare the results (images, chemical compositions) received at different times (for example before and after ageing).

The low temperature cracking measurement is to determine the resistance of tested element against low temperature cracking performed by measuring temperature and force and determining cryogenic stress.

The dynamic stiffness modulus measurement is to determine the relationship between maximum applied stress and maximum strain response performed by measuring the displacement of tested system. The test is conducted using MTS Landmark servohydraulic testing system of 100 kN, special grips for fixing the sample and RTSS videoextensometer in accordance with modified method:
EN 12697-26 Bituminous mixtures – Test methods – Part 26: Stiffness
As part of the testing of the PM&VL7 research line, Flex&Robust composites were examined.

The goal of the test is to determine the vertical load capacity and load deflection characteristics of brackets subjected to vertical load. Vertical load capacity shows the ability of a bracket to withstand stresses during use.
The goal of the test is to determine the strength of corners of window/casement frame when it is subjected to compression bending test. The strength of corners shows the ability of a window/casement frame to withstand stresses during installation and use.
