Polymers

Service

Polymer Analysis
Veryst provides expert services for product design, manufacturing processes, and failure analysis of polymeric components. Our expertise includes experimental characterization, computer modeling, and failure analysis. Our work is based on advanced characterization and physically-based computer models to solve industrial problems involving polymer systems.
Simulation & Analysis

Veryst provides expertise in many aspects of simulation and analysis for use in product design, manufacturing processes, and failure analysis.  This includes modeling and analysis involving polymer materials, multiphysics modeling, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computatio

Species Transport
Veryst assists clients in addressing problems involving transport of species or chemical substances. Our experience includes transdermal drug delivery and permeability of polymer systems. We employ advanced computational methods which allow us to model the complex coupled interactions between solute concentrations and carrier material properties.
Structural Finite Element Analysis
Veryst offers leading expertise in advanced finite element modeling, particularly for complex, nonlinear problems. We can address problems that other finite element analysis consultants either cannot or are not sufficiently experienced to do well.
Testing

Veryst’s mechanical testing capabilities have been developed over the past decade and are motivated by the need for high quality data to characterize complex polymer behavior.  We tailor our test programs based on our deep understanding of polymer and material mechanics and the challenges complex

News item

Article published on The Art of Accurate Polymer Modelling
"Stress-free Simulation: The Art of Accurate Polymer Modelling" is the title of an article by Veryst's Eric Schmitt and Jorgen Bergstrom. The article appears in the October 2016 issue of Benchmark magazine, published by NAFEMS.
New book published on the Mechanics of Solid Polymers
Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom’s book is now available! Mechanics of Solid Polymers: Theory and Computational Modeling explains how solid polymers behave, how they can be experimentally characterized, and how to predict their behavior in different load environments.  This comprehensive book reflects the latest advances in the understanding of polymers, and shows that with the right knowledge and tools it is possible to predict accurately the response of ALL polymers.
New Software Help Center
Veryst is pleased to announce our new Veryst Software Help Center! The Help Center makes it easy for those using the PolyUMod® and MCalibration® software to ask for help, share feedback, and track progress on service requests.  It's also easy to request a new license.
Publication co-authored with U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom has co-authored (in collaboration with Maureen Dreher and Srinidhi Nagaraja of the U.S.

Publication in Materials and Design journal

Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom has co-authored a paper titled "Mechanical properties of 3D printed polymeric cellular materials with triply periodic minimal surface architectures" published in the journal Materials and Design (Vol. 122, 2017).

Publication: Veryst develops advanced constitutive model for UHMWPE
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is used extensively in biomedical devices due to its mechanical properties, including high impact and wear resistance. Veryst developed an advanced thermomechanical constitutive model for UHWMPE where the microstructure of the material is represented using three structural domains that capture the experimentally-observed, nonlinear, time- and temperature-dependent response at small and large strains.
Veryst adds FTIR microscope to materials analysis lab

Veryst is excited to announce that we have expanded our materials analysis capabilities by adding a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microscope to our materials analysis lab.
