EVENT DETAILS

1. Introduction
Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a wellestablished technique for characterizing mechanical properties of all kinds of materials, particularly polymers such as thermoplastics, thermosets,
elastomers, adhesives, paints and coatings, films and fibers, as well as composites.  DMA in combination with Rheometry can provide quantitative and qualitative data regarding:
– Viscoelastic moduli and damping
– Material structure and morphology
– Influence of fillers and fibers in polymers
– Crystallization/melting processes
– High temperature and curing performance

Detailed information about these properties is crucial for new material development as well as for design of new production processes. A new 2-in-1 measuring device concept is introduced which combines a rotational upper drive and a moving lower linear drive. This enables rheological measurements (rotational, oscillation) and DMA (torsion, tension, bending, compression) on a single
platform.
