TMA 402 F3 Hyperion® Polymer Edition

Thermomechanical Analysis

For measuring both the thermal and the mechanical properties, a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) is used. Temperature-dependent dimensional changes in solids, liquids and pastes determine the suitability of an application for a given material or provide information about the composition, structure and conditions of processing.

Thermomechanical Analysis – TMA – Tailor-Made for Low-Temperature Applications

Polymers undergo changes in their thermomechanical properties during heating and cooling. TMA analyses can give insights into molecular orientation and quenching effects during cooling. It allows the design of adhesives and other hybrid joints and quality control of shrink films. TMA analyses can hereby provide valuable insight into the composition, structure, production conditions or application possibilities for various materials.
