Description

DMA, a polymer characterization technique, is gaining popularity due to its high sensitivity in detecting transitions and events that other techniques cannot observe easily. It can help define the performance of new and existing polymer formulations and screen new formulations for unique applications quickly and efficiently. DMA can be used to characterize all types of polymers and establish correlations with physical and mechanical properties, making it easy to evaluate different materials for different applications. DMA testing can be performed under real end-use conditions to establish performance criteria that is directly related to DMA results. This technique is finding increased applications in many new fields of polymer science.

Why you should not miss this training?

DMA is a highly effective tool for rapidly evaluating new polymer formulations and identifying their potential uses and applications. It can reduce the need for trial and error testing and streamline development efforts, saving time and costs. Attendees at DMA training will learn how to use DMA data to optimize formulations and relate them to specific performance criteria. They will also be introduced to new advances in DMA technology.

Who should attend this training?

People that work in the R&D groups of organizations will be the primary focus of the course.  In addition, people that function in the materials development areas of organizations will also benefit from this class.  Both groups of people will see how DMA can be used to assist them with their product development efforts.
