This video demonstrates how to prepare samples for dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) using single and dual bending clamps. Also presented is the preparation required for tension samples and the use of the fluid bath for immersion studies.
The cooling performance of the DMA allows samples to be analyzed at temperatures as low as –190 °C. Secondary transitions (β-relaxation) can be studied, as well as larger reorganizations at higher temperatures, such as glass transition (α-relaxation).
The DMA, with its unique rotatable measuring head, allows for measurements in all deformation modes – even in liquids or at defined relative humidity levels.
