Dynamic Mechanical Analysis with a Rheometer

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis with a Rheometer

Rheology deals with the deformation and flow behavior of materials. In addition to the run-of-the-mill rheological measurements, the Modular Compact Rheometer (MCR) from Anton Paar is also capable to undertake extended rheological measurements such as Tribology, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Powder, etc. The current seminar deals with the basics of Rheology along with a dedicated focus on the (DMA) on a Rheometer. DMA can be powerful techniques to characterize polymers and to determine their properties during processing and final use. Detailed information about these properties is crucial for materials development as well as for design of production processes.

The outline of the seminar is as given below:
- Basics of Rheology and DMTA
- Instrumentation and Test Methodologies
     - Oscillatory Measurements – Amplitude Sweep, Frequency Sweep, etc.
     - Measurements in Torsion and Extension
     - Glass Transition Temperature, Blend-Compatibility, etc.
- Real-life examples
- Demonstration of instrument
