Polymers: Thermal, mechanical and rheological characterization of polymer materials

  • Training structure

    Faculty of Science, Continuing Education Department

Presentation

During the "Polymers" Short Course, you will first learn about polymer materials in the solid state, then carry out and interpret mechanical and thermal tests to characterize polymers.

The courses in this programme are designed to provide skills in the thermomechanical analysis of polymers:

  • DSC and ATG measurement of characteristic temperatures (Tg, Tf, Tc, Td)
  • Measuring mechanical properties: tensile tests
  • Measurement of thermomechanical properties by DMA and rheometer
