DMA Practical Interpretation with Case studies for Polymer Development

74 Day(s) left to register

TuesdayNov 28,2023

Channel the capabilities of Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)in development & optimization of polymeric & rubber materials by aptly determining their flow characteristics, modulus, and elasticity.

Mark DeMeusewill help youextract the most out of your DMA graphs! Topics like controlling product’s performance (HDT, creep behavior, physical aging…), speeding up analysis, extrapolating results & meeting application requirements faster will be discussed.

Why should you attend?

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), now, is not just restricted to characterization of physical properties of polymeric and rubber materials. It is a potential approach for mappingglass transition temperature, material interactions, and overall product performance.

It can thus play a vital role in optimization & development of thermoplastics, thermosets, polymer blends... Ensure you are armed with the right interpretation skills to benefit from this tool as much as possible.Join this courseto:

  1. Extract more concrete data(flow characteristics, modulus, and elasticity...) by understanding how it shows on DMA graphs.

  2. Meet application requirements fasterby learning how to link DMA data to product performance (Tg < >热变形,储能模量< >刚度、次要的transitions <> hardness…).

  3. Design better development strategyby understanding the key requirements to overcome issues like contamination…

  4. Upgrade your interpretation skillsby understanding how to extrapolate results (creep behavior, physical aging, gel time…) obtained on key samples.

A very Good Course! Provided a good corelation of HDT and other properties with overall material performance.

Thibaud P. , from Rescoll

I learnt how to effectively use DMA to understand polymer formulations.

Hong X. , from Cardolite Corporation

帮助我了解了一些DMA情节we generated internally. Provided good information on E' Tan delta versus Tg, HDT, etc.

Robert B. , from Americhem Inc.

An Excellent Course! The background info and the case studies used were very helpful.

Brian G. , from Voith

We just purchased a DMA and the course was a good introduction to the technique. There was some very good information about specific applications that relate to our business.
