DMA 242 E Artemis - Application Example
SBR rubber mixture - multi frequency measurement and main curve
The multi frequency test spectrum of SBR rubber mixture is shown in the figure. As expected, with the increase of frequency, the glass transition temperature drifts towards high temperature, and the storage modulus also increases accordingly. (Experimental conditions: 2K/min heating, double cantilever mode)

(Experimental conditions: 2K/min heating, double cantilever mode)

On the basis of multi frequency testing, if the Williams Landel Ferry (WLF) equation is used to extrapolate based on a reference temperature (-20 ° C in the figure), the frequency extrapolation curve (main curve, also known as TTS curve) can be obtained to calculate the E 'and tan δ values at extremely high and low frequencies that cannot be achieved by conventional testing.

Glass fiber reinforced PBT
In the figure, a 30% glass fiber reinforced PBT material was subjected to DMA testing in parallel and perpendicular to the fiber direction using three-point bending mode, frequency of 1Hz, and heating rate of 2K/min. The experimental results show that the storage modulus in the parallel direction (straight line) is significantly higher, and the starting point of E 'decrease is at 43 ° C. The loss factor value is also relatively small, and the peak of the loss factor for both occurs at the same temperature.

Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin
The single cantilever sample holder with a free push rod is specially designed for precise measurement of very hard samples. One end of the sample is tightly fixed, while the other end is subjected to oscillation testing using a free push rod.
The DMA test results of a certain carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin are shown in the figure on the right. As shown in the figure, the storage modulus of the sample at 50 ℃ is as high as 145000Mpa, indicating that the modulus of the material is even higher than that of titanium metal. Due to the glass transition of the epoxy substrate, the storage modulus curve decreases after 159 ℃ (starting point), with a corresponding peak loss modulus of 171 ℃ and a peak loss factor of 176 ℃.

Tensile testing of polyester fibers
Polyester fibers were tested in tensile mode, and the results showed that there was a relaxation effect in the low temperature range of the sample. Its characteristic temperature can be characterized by the starting point of E 'or the peak temperature of E' and TG δ. The glass transition occurs after 75 ° C, and the storage modulus decreases from 4200Mpa to 200Mpa.

Fiberglass Reinforced PBT - Dynamic Mechanical Properties
We tested the dynamic mechanical properties of 30% fiberglass reinforced PBT material under the conditions of three-point bending mode, 1Hz frequency, and 2K/min heating rate (tested along both parallel and perpendicular directions to the fibers). The test results indicate that the sample has higher strength along the fiber direction compared to perpendicular to the fiber direction, and the starting point of E 'decrease is 43 ℃ (solid line). The loss factor value is correspondingly lower, and the peak temperature of the loss factor is consistent in both directions.

Uncured EVA - determination of glass transition temperature
The DMA test was conducted by the German Federal Association for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). The multi frequency (0.33Hz, 1Hz, 3.33Hz, 10Hz, 33.3Hz) test uses a double cantilever sample holder with a heating rate of 2K/min and an amplitude of 40um.
The graph indicates that this is a typical glass transition behavior. The storage modulus E 'rapidly decreases at -40 ℃, while E' 'exhibits a clear peak. There is a clear dependence between glass transition and vibration frequency: the higher the frequency, the higher the glass transition temperature.
These DMA results can be used to help us determine the activation energy of glass transition. It can be observed that there is a linear correlation between ln (f) and 1/T. By the slope of this line, we can calculate the apparent activation energy of the transition. The calculated result is 328 kJ/mol, which is within the reasonable range of glass transition activation energy.
