This service allows the investigation and modelling of the thermal and time-dependent behaviour of polymers. The equipment used and its specification are described below:
Test/Modelling Title: Thermal and time-dependent behaviour of polymers.
Equipment/Software Name, Type: DMA25 (Differential Mechanical Analyzer) is a DMA manufactured by Metravib.
Specification:
- Dynamic Mechanical Measurements: the DMA25 equipment performs dynamic mechanical measurements to investigate the behaviour of polymers under different loading and temperature conditions.
- Polymer Receptors and Structure Correlation: The equipment is suitable for studying the correlation between polymer receptors and structure.
- Compatibility: The DMA25 allows the study of compatibility between polymeric materials.
- Tg (Glass Transition Temperature): Determination of the glass transition temperature, important for understanding and designing polymer properties.
- Rheological Properties: The instrument is suitable for measuring the rheological properties of polymers.
- Creep and Dilatometric Measurements: The DMA25 can be used to perform both creep and dilatometric measurements.
- Maximum Force: The maximum force range of the instrument is 25 N.
- Displacement: Maximum displacement of the device is ±3 mm in one direction or 6 mm in one direction.
- Measurement Frequency Range: The measurement frequency range of the DMA25 is 0,01-200 Hz.
