Thermal Analysis Services

The Applied Polymer Research Center can provide you with thermal measurements and analysis to enhance your processes and thermal knowledge base.

Typical Measurements

• DSC: melt point, glass transition temperature, cold crystallization temperature, heat capacity, OIT (oxygen induction time)
• TGA: pyrolytic/oxidative thermal profiles, composition
• DMA: visco-elastic properties, storage/loss moduli, tan delta, glass transition temperature
