his application note describes the importance of using thermal and rheological techniques to help fingerprinting the molecular architecture of the PET feedstocks.
DetailsThis note will detail the use of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and rheology to characterize the glass transition of a polymeric material.
DetailsIn this work, the thermal degradation process of nylon 66 was studied using TGA-MS, TGA-FTIR and TGA-GC/MS in inert gas environments. These techniques together can provide a lot of insights of the thermal degradation process and its off-gas products.
DetailsOverview In this Tech Tip, we will set up the TA Instruments powder rheology flow cell.
DetailsIn this Applications note, we demonstrate using TGA to precisely control the degree of degradation to be < 5wt% and characterize the impact of degrees of degradation on polymer thermal properties.
DetailsThermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) provides a method for accelerating the lifetime testing of polymers so that short term experiments can be used to predict in-use lifetime.

DetailsThis note describes the importance of DSC to study crystallization behavior and crystallinity of recycled PET used in the production of honeycomb structures.
DetailsThis Applications Note discusses the advantages of the Discovery X3 DSC for thermoplastic analysis which includes the ability to identify potential differences in thermal properties as a function of thermal history.
DetailsModulated DSC (MDSC) was performed on a polypropylene (PP) battery separator to gain additional insights into the effects of stretching during processing of the film.
DetailsModulated thermomechanical analysis (MTMA) was performed on a polypropylene (PP) battery separator to gain further insight into the mechanism of the dimension change and coefficient of linear expansion (CLE or α).
DetailsThe TA Instruments Powder Rheology Accessory was used with Discovery HR 30 rheometer to perform shear measurements. Duplicate measurements were performed with fresh samples under ambient conditions.
