Beschreibung
This book provides an insight into the thermal analysis of thermosets and presents a large number of practical examples to assist users in implementing this technique optimally for a wide range use-cases. The main techniques used for sample measurement are differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). In special cases, combined on-line techniques such as SDTA, visual monitoring, and evolved gas analysis (EGA) have also been employed. The more modern method of chip calorimetry by Flash DSC is also demonstrated.
Thermosets are polymers that have undergone a permanent chemical reaction known as curing or crosslinking to form a giant crosslinked network structure. They are rigid, typically insoluble materials of high mechanical strength and high temperature stability, with a broad range of applications that benefit from these properties. In contrast to thermoplastics, thermosets cannot be remelted or remolded into another shape after curing.
Application-oriented help to newcomers, less-experienced users, and anyone else interested in the practical aspects of thermal analysis of thermosets
Overview of core DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA techniques, with illustration of how they can be used to analyze thermosets in particular
Also includes more modern techniques such as chip calorimetry by Flash DSC and connected methods such as EGA-TGA
Case-study based approach helps develop practical judgment and skills, also for experienced analysts who want to learn new techniques
