The experimental platform for the characterization of thermo-physical and radiative properties of materials gathers experimental test bench of the Center of Energy and Thermal Sciences of Lyon, laboratory of INSA de Lyon, CNRS and university Lyon 1, located on the campus of La Doua in Villeurbanne. The platform allows the characterization of properties at different scales (from micron to meter), at different temperatures and the measurement of intrinsic or effective properties. It meets the R&D needs of industry in various fields, including energy, buildings, transport, microelectronics, textiles.
