Unlocking the Secrets of Plastics with Dynamic Mechanical Analysis
2024-10-22 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
In conjunction with SPE: Inspiring Plastics Professionals, hear from Jeffrey A. Jansen about Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) during a 4-hour online workshop!
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a powerful technique for exploring the viscoelastic properties of plastic materials, offering invaluable insights into their mechanical behavior under various conditions. This comprehensive 4-hour workshop, ” Unlocking the Secrets of Plastics with Dynamic Mechanical Analysis”, is designed to equip participants with both theoretical understanding and practical skills in DMA.
Participants will begin by exploring the fundamental principles of DMA, including key concepts like storage modulus, loss modulus, and tan delta. The workshop will then delve into the viscoelastic behavior of polymers, emphasizing the importance of DMA in material characterization.
Real-world case studies on polymeric materials will provide practical examples of DMA applications in quality control, material selection, and failure analysis. The workshop will also address the advantages and limitations of DMA, and offer insight into data interpretation.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a solid foundation in DMA, enabling them to apply this technique effectively in their work with plastics.
