Guided by the techniques and principles of Scientific Method, our engineers and scientists develop specialized solutions to specific customer needs. Using observable evidence subject to the principles of logic and reasoning, analytical data is validated in conjunction with scientific fundamentals to predict desired properties.Our scientists and engineers are skilled in Molecular Synthesis, Testing and Analysis, Engineering and Application Development. To date over 700 different polymers have been discovered in different laboratories, each with different properties to suit specific application needs.
Testing and Analysis
MST has the expertise to test chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Testing then provides insight into the fundamentals of why materials behave differently and how these differences can be exploited to develop new applications.
MST operates a separate testing division. This testing division reports results without bias. The division also performs outside testing for a number of oil and gas, aerospace and energy applications. A break-down of testing services is listed below. For a more complete description please visit our Polymer Testing section.
- Chemical Analysis
- Structural Analysis
- Polymeric Analysis
- Thermal Properties
- Rheological Properties
- Mechanical Behavior
- Biological Behavior
- Biomedical Properties
- Electrical Properties

Chemical Engineering
The three elements of synthesis, testing and structure-property predictions in phosphazene chemistry form the foundation of MST. The second tier of the pyramid represents MST expertise in Engineering and Scale-up. MST is the largest producer of polyphosphazene materials for commercial applications.
At MST, Chemical Engineers work side-by-side with Chemists to develop new molecules. Our engineering staff also understands how to manipulate material attributes for predictable final properties. They utilize their fundamental understanding of unit operations and engineering principles to scale-up complex molecular structures to commercial scale. MST operates a complete pilot facility and market development unit (MDU) for producing commercial quantities of up to 35,000 lbs per year of polyphosphazene materials.
