Thermal analysis and Rheology

Overview

  • Discovery DSC

    Differential Scanning Calorimeters (DSC) measure temperatures and heat flows associated with thermal transitions in a material.

     

  • TA DHR2

    Rheology is the study of flow and deformation of materials. Deformation and flow are referred to as strain or strain rate, respectively, and indicate the distance over which a body moves under the influence of an external force, or stress.

  • TA DMA Q800

    Dynamic Mechanical Analysis measures the mechanical properties of materials as a function of time, temperature, and frequency. DMA provides an accurate measure of material stiffness (modulus) but also other important mechanical properties such as damping, creep, and stress relaxation.

  • TA TGA Q50

    TGA measures the weight of a sample as function of a temperature ramp, this elucidates solvent content and degradation temperatures
