| On Demand Webinar | Thermal Analysis of Thermoplastics Thermoplastic materials are widely used in many industries because of their unique properties, low weight, attractive price, and recycling possibilities. The four main techniques of thermal analysis, DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA are ideal for characterizing such materials. The most important advantage is that properties can be measured as function of temperature or time over a wide temperature range, from –150 to 1600 °C. In this Webinar, we will show how thermal analysis is used to analyze thermoplastic materials and will present some typical examples of samples measured by DSC, TGA, TMA, or DMA. |
| On Demand Webinar | High-pressure DSC Increased pressure influences all physical changes and chemical reactions in which a change in volume occurs. For material testing, process development, and quality control there is often no alternative to DSC measurements under pressure. High-pressure DSC allows you to measure samples under defined atmospheres at up to 10 MPa as a function of temperature or time. Higher temperature and pressure accelerates reactions and shortens the analysis time.
