How to prepare samples for measurements in DMA

This video demonstrates how to prepare samples for dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) using single and dual bending clamps. Also presented is the preparation required for tension samples and the use of the fluid bath for immersion studies. The cooling performance of the DMA is very impressive and samples can be analyzed from –190 °C. Secondary transitions (β-relaxation) can be studied, as well as larger re-organizations at higher temperatures, such as the glass transition (α-relaxation). The DMA with its unique rotatable Measuring Head allows measurements in all deformation modes, even in liquids or at defined relative humidity levels.
