- STARe Excellence Software
Thermal analysis, particularly dynamic scanning calorimetry (DSC), is a fundamental method for studying the thermal properties of polymeric materials. It is used as a primary research method for:
- determining the melting point and polymorphic transformations of polymers
- glass transition temperature
- distribution of transformation temperatures and their dependence on the presence of admixtures in the polymer, solvent, degree of branching, degree of orientation, and crystalline phase content.
All of these physical transformations are accompanied by significant changes in the material's properties, which influence its processing parameters. Knowledge of these changes is essential for correctly determining all processing parameters, such as injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, and others.
The analysis allows for the determination of:
- specific heat of the material
- heat and temperature of melting and crystallization
- heat and temperature of other phase changes
- entropy of changes
- heat and activation energy of chemical reactions - for curable polymers (resins)
- adsorption energy etc.
It is a complementary method to other research methods, such as: viscosity - measurement of the melt flow rate.
Introducing laboratory classes using this device into the training program will significantly expand and complement knowledge about polymer materials, as modern construction materials that are fundamental in many fields of technology. Awareness of their properties allows for the targeted and effective use of many known and new polymer materials in all areas of engineering materials application.
