Thermal Analysis
- Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
- Normal scanning (Dynamic) DSC in heating and cooling.
- Fast scanning DSC (hyper DSC up to 500K/min.).
- Isothermal crystallization experiments at different temperatures, followed by Avrami analyses are performed and brought into an in-house developed model, which predicts both crystallinity and temperature as function of time and position in a plate or in a cylinder of your cooling polymer from the molten state.
- Temperature Nuclei Free (TNF).
- Reaction kinetics.
- Thermo-oxidative degradation of polymers.
- Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)
- Thermo Stress Analysis (TSA)
- Thermo Mechanical Analysis (TMA)
- Free shrinkage or shrinkage force of films and yarns as a function of temperature.
- Expansion coefficients.
- Heat distortion or Vicat softening temperatures.
- Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS)
- Water absorption or desorption kinetics.
- Water equilibria in polymers.
- Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) of yarns and plastics
