DMA is a highly sensitive method for measuring how various physical properties, such as storage and loss modulus, change with temperature. Using a DMA, it is possible to perform tensile, compression, shear, 3-point bend, dual and single cantilever type tests. Even thin films and fibers can be tested. Typical Experimental Results Applications 3-Point Bend Complex Modulus Complex/Dynamic Viscosity Compression Controlled Force/Strain Rate Creep Compliance Equilibrium Recoverable Compliance Film Analysis Frequency Effect Glass Transition Isostrain Loss Modulus Multi-Frequency Multi-Stress/Strain Relaxation Modulus Sample Stiffness Secondary Transitions Shear Sandwich Static/Dynamic Force Storage Modulus Storage/Loss Compliance Stress Relaxation Stress/Strain Behavior Submersible Clamps Tan Delta Tension Viscoelastic Characterization Instrument: TA Instruments Q800 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer Instrument Key Specifications Temperature Range-150 to 600°C Isothermal Stability± 0.1°C Modulus Precision± 1% Tan δ Resolution 0.00001 Strain Resolution 1 nm Force Range 0.0001 to 18 N Force Resolution 0.00001 N Frequency Range 0.01 to 200 Hz Atmosphere Inert, Oxidizing, or Reactive Gases Glass Transition Determination by DMA For more information, please read our application notes: Glass Transition Temperature Measurements Using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Time-Temperature Superposition Using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis
