Gammadot
Rheology is currently in discussions with ARTIS, (the recently
commercialised research arm of Avon Rubber p.l.c), investigating
potential projects & services the two companies can co-operatively
offer to the polymer industry. Martyn Bennett, ARTIS’ Chief
Scientist, commented, “a partner with complimentary rheological
skills in the thermoplastics sector will allow us to expand the
services we can offer to our clients and we are looking forward
to working with Gammadot”.
ARTIS provides a wide spectrum of industrial support ranging from
optimising customer compound formulations to providing problem
solving services (root cause validation to solution implementation),
to expert witness legal support & a selection of training
courses covering rubber technology through to how to write a meaningful
spec, approved by the IoM3
for professional development. A materials analysis service providing
bench marking and reverse engineering together with both conventional
& electron microscopy facilities enhances the specialist services
offered.
The relationship will be mutually beneficial in that ARTIS can
offer some unique rheological characterisation for rubber and
TPE/TPV materials, whilst being able to offer Gammadot’s
expertise in the plastics sector to its customers. Mark Edwards,
Gammadot’s Principal said, “The staff at ARTIS have
a wealth of experience supplying testing and solutions to problems
in a production environment and Gammadot is excited about the
potential of forming a synergistic working relationship with ARTIS
