Live Webinar: Characterization of Elastomers by Thermal Analysis

Understanding the Thermal Dynamics That Shape Elastomer Performance

Program Overview

  • Typical properties and structure of elastomers
  • Ideal thermal techniques for studying elastomers
  • Application examples using DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA
  • Which technique for which type of analysis?
  • Interactive Q&A session

Elastomers are highly versatile elastic polymers that can be stretched or compressed yet return to their original shape when the stress is removed. Found in a diverse range of items including rubber bands, seals, and tires, they play a crucial role in both industry and daily life. Due to their high temperature dependence, thermal analysis is a powerful tool for understanding elastomer behavior under varying temperature and stress conditions.

Join our upcoming webinar to find out what shapes your elastomers and enhance your knowledge in thermal analysis!

Techniques such as DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA can measure elastomer properties and behavior across a temperature range of −150 to 1600 °C. Using just a few milligrams of sample, you can determine critical information, including glass transition, vulcanization reactions, composition, identification, expansion coefficient, creep, and swelling behavior. Understanding these properties is crucial in both research and quality control settings across various industries.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge on characterizing these fascinating materials.
