TA Instruments Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) Q800 provides state-of-the-art and high precision measurement of solid and bulk materials versus temperature, time, and frequency. Provided heating furnace with optional air or liquid nitrogen coolers allow for measurement from -150 up to 600 °C. Four different clamps with five measurement modes can be selected based on material stiffness and dimension. DMA is often used to map out end-use performance by looking into glass transition temperatures and secondary transitions, orientation caused by processing, cold crystallization, cure optimization, filler effects in composites, and beyond. DMA offers accurate measurement of material stiffness (modulus) and also important other mechanical parameters like damping, creep, and relaxation.
