Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, or DMA, is seeing an increasing popularity among people that are interested in the characterization of polymers. Due to its very high level of sensitivity it can be used to detect transitions and events that are not easily observed with other polymer characterization techniques. As such, it can be effectively utilized to assist in the definition of the performance of new and existing polymer formulations. Further, it can be used as a quick and efficient way to screen new formulations for unique and developing applications.
DMA is presently being used to characterize all types of polymers including both thermosets and thermoplastics, as well as mixtures of these with themselves and each other. Correlations of the DMA data with more typical physical properties such as HDT and mechanical properties can be established and this allows for the easy evaluation of different polymer materials in different applications. DMA testing that can be performed under real end-use conditions helps allow for the establishment of performance criteria that is directly related to the DMA results. Due to this fact, DMA is finding increased applications in many new fields of polymer science. DMA is a very effective tool for quickly screening new polymer formulations for new and unique uses and applications. As such, it can be utilized to eliminate much trial and error work from such evaluations and can be used to focus development efforts on the correct formulation in a timely and efficient manner. Due to this fact, its use can reduce the time involved with new formulation developments as well as the associated costs of such developments.
