Featured Resources
Polymer Lab Services
A comprehensive overview of EWI’s expertise in thermoplastics, thermosets, adhesives, rubbers, carbon-based materials, and polymer-based composites. Our team supports every stage of product development — from material selection and design to joining, testing, life prediction, and failure analysis — to help de-risk products and ensure durable, high-performance outcomes.
Polymers in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage
A technical perspective from Dr. Jeff Ellis on polymer materials for carbon capture and high-pressure CO₂ environments. It covers material selection, testing, and performance considerations to ensure long-term reliability and safe operation of CCUS infrastructure.
Screening Tests for Elastomers in the Hydrogen Economy
Research led by Dr. Jeff Ellis on the development of screening tests to evaluate how hydrogen exposure affects polymer seals, gaskets, and non-metallic pipelines. The work identifies material vulnerabilities, quantifies property changes, and provides guidance for designing safer, more reliable hydrogen delivery systems.
Hydrogen Composite Pipe Integrity Study (PHMSA-funded Research)
A detailed report authored by Dr. Jeff Ellis examining the integrity and long-term safety of composite pipes transporting pressurized hydrogen. The study evaluates material performance, design considerations, and monitoring methods to guide safer deployment of composite pipelines in hydrogen applications.
