Physical and mechanical properties of polymers

A complete set of tests to determine the physical and mechanical properties of polymers can be performed in this section, which include:
• Tensile Properties
• Compression Properties
• Cold crushing or cold mechanical properties
• Flexural Modulus
• Tear resistance
•Pull off test or adhesion strength
• Izod Impact resistance
• Charpy Impact Resistance
• Falling Dart Impact resistance or impact resistance with the falling weight method
• Shore A & D Hardness or Shore A, D hardness resistance
Barcol hardness, density measurement, porosity determination, softening temperature determination (Vicat), thermal deflection temperature (HDT) determination, wear of soft materials, elongation, pressure resistance at different temperatures, melt flow index (MFR), friction coefficient, conductivity determination Thermal, determination of thermal expansion coefficient, soot spreading, rubber rheometry, shrinkage, water absorption, moisture percentage, checking dimensional changes, annular stiffness, perforation.

Analysis of all chemical properties and identification of polymers:

FTIR to determine the type, percentage and type of oil (plasticizer) of tires, determine the percentage and type of mineral fillers used, determine the percentage of carbon black, determine the percentage of polymers used in some samples, determine the percentage of resin in composites, It is used to determine the percentage of ash.

Thermal analysis of polymers (rubber, plastic, composite):

DSC differential scanning calorimetry: This analysis includes measuring the melting temperature Tm, glass transition temperature Tg, crystallization temperature, oxidation induction time (OIT), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and measuring the degradation temperature of some polymers.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and differential thermal analysis (Differential Thermal Analysis) are two thermal methods used to identify polymers and evaluate them. DSC is a method that calculates the energy required to establish zero temperature difference between the sample and the reference material as a function Records time or temperature.
