I intend to do some tensile testing on some composite materials with very small thickness (about 0.5-1mm) and size 3 cm x 1 cm in a temperature ramp mode. I would like to know the name of such a testing machine or contact if any one has the same?

Re: a tensile testing machine for small specimens/films
You may try Nano Solutions Technology or Correlated Solutions. The following couple of papers may help as well. Thanks.

tensile testing machine for small specimens/films
Hello,
I' am working for Zwick/Roell in Germany and we are producing tensile testing machines. For your application I need some more information like temperature range, temperature rate, maximum tensile strength etc..
Please feel free to contact me directly robert.strehle [at] zwick.com (robert[dot]strehle[at]zwick[dot]com)
Best regards
