Polymer impact behaviour isn’t just about whether a material is labelled ductile or brittle, it’s about how test conditions influence the result. Features such as specimen orientation and test method can significantly affect measured impact performance, which is why understanding how Izod and Charpy tests are applied and interpreted matters. Our whitepaper looks at how these impact tests are used to assess polymer behaviour under sudden loading, and why factors like notch sensitivity need to be considered when comparing results or selecting materials. If you’re using impact data to inform material choices or validate designs, this context is essential.

Last week we wrapped up another great Instron seminar in North Carolina. Many thanks to our hosts at Polymers Center Testing and to all our customers who attended! As always, the great conversations, thoughtful questions, and hands-on time with Bluehill Universal and our latest static and fatigue testing systems made for an engaging, educational day. A special thanks to Joe Lowrey, Caroline Rouse, Mark Shorey, and Tanya R. for their hard work in organizing and managing this event.

Polymers continue to replace traditional materials across the automotive sector — but performance requirements are becoming more demanding than ever. Join us for the next webinar in our series about plastics testing. This time, we'll focus on how to test automotive‑grade plastics for safety, durability, and regulatory compliance. In this live webinar, we’ll cover: • How polymer usage is evolving in the automotive industry, including lightweighting, electrification, and sustainability trends • Why polymers in auto applications face unique performance requirements such as temperature extremes, fatigue, and crash‑relevant behavior • Practical test methods for common components, including interior trim, fasteners, connectors, under‑hood parts, and EV‑related plastics Who should attend: OEMs, Tier suppliers, polymer processors, and QC labs working with structural and non‑structural automotive components.
