Materials characterization, is a process by which a material’s structure and properties are probed and measured. Characterization techniques are classified as spectroscopy, diffraction and scattering, and imaging and microscopy. Principal features of the materials, i.e. details of their electronic structure, including atomic mass, their crystallography, composition, phase, and morphology contribute to the observable signals
Materials characterization is the process of measuring and analyzing the structure and properties of a material. It uses techniques such as spectroscopy, diffraction and scattering, and imaging and microscopy. These techniques reveal the material’s features, such as its electronic structure, atomic mass, crystallography, composition, phase, and morphology, which affect the signals it produces.
Because the properties of solids depend significantly on their composition, physicochemical studies is crucial in understanding and predicting the behavior of various materials and substances, It involves the measurement of various physical properties of systems, most often phase transition temperatures and other thermal properties (thermal conductivity, heat capacity, thermal expansion), electrical properties (conductivity, dielectric permittivity), and optical properties (refractive index, rotation of the plane of polarization of light).
At Copal we have all the technical means and the expertise needed to examine the physical and chemical characteristics of all kinds of substances and materials.
Copal offers specialized characterization services that imply the detailed analysis and study of the properties and structure of a particular material or substance in various fields such as materials science, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and more.
These services require a broad set of tools and expertise to know what to look for in each test.
They can be provided on a stand-alone service basis or added to any project related to reprogramming, differentiation, or assay development. The goal of these services is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the material or substance being studied, which can aid in research and development processes.
Feasibility studies are crucial to determine the practicality and potential of a project, intervention, or innovation before investing time and resources in a full-scale evaluation or implementation. They help to identify and address any issues that may affect the success or viability of the project and provide useful information for designing and planning the main study.
Copal has a proven track record of conducting high-quality feasibility studies for various projects and sectors.We deliver reliable, timely and cost-effective solutions that meet your needs and expectations.

For 12 years, she has worked at the National University of Distance Education (UNED) in Madrid, as a teacher-tutor in different Chemistry Degree subjects, such as Physical Chemistry I: Atomic Molecular Structure (Principles of Quantum Mechanics), Physicochemical Instrumental Techniques o Physical Chemistry II: Spectroscopy and molecular statistics, among others. There, she was co-director of the course “Chemistry to Teach” within the platform of the University of Continuous Training Courses and continues to collaborate on the subject of Biospectroscopy within the Master of Chemical Science and Technology.
She has carried out studies on the absorption of polluting molecules in the environment, in collaboration with the Environmental Biology and Toxicology Group of the UNED Faculty of Sciences, using UV spectroscopy of 4-methylbenzyliden camphor (4-MBC) and 2 -Hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone (BP-3) in biological saline culture.
She has worked as a scientific researcher for the University of Alcalá de Henares and carried out the analysis of pigments and substrates using Raman micro-spectroscopy in the project “Contextual study of the paleolithic graphic manifestations of the Los Casares cave” (reference number: SBPLY/18/180801/000080).
Mercedes Iriarte has carried out numerous research projects at the Higher Scientific Research Council (CSIC), where she has also managed to synthesize metal nanoparticles for their application in molecular detection and has developed different types of nano-sensors for the detection of organic pollutants at low concentrations. persistent (POP), as well as a liquid nano-sensor for the detection of potentially carcinogenic solvents.
