Best Combine DMA, DSC, FTIR... for Optimal Material Analysis

47 Day(s) left to register

Tuesday Jun 4, 2024

Achieve advanced-level proficiency in material analysis (polymer characterization) by learning how to combine data from multiple tools DSC, TGA, DMA, FTIR...

Jeffrey Jansen will help share proven cost-effective solutions that enable faster optimization of key properties (Tg, HDT, crystallinity, oxidation rate, component migration...) of your plastic materials. Factors affecting results using relevant cases (polymer identification, contamination, failure analysis) will be discussed in detail.

Why should you attend?

Increasingly diverse & advanced plastic materials labs (offering multiple tools like DSC, TGA, DMA, FTIR...) help generate a lot of information.

But without knowing when and how to complement data, your material characterization & analysis process will become costly & time-consuming!
Join this course to:


1. Design better material analysis plan by clarifying the type of information you will get from each characterization method (DMA, DSC, TGA, FTIR...).

2. Extract more value (extent of oxidation, HDT, Tg, contamination...) by learning how to efficiently cross data from multiple characterization techniques.

3. Gain insight into how plastic’s composition and structure can be evaluated analytically.

4. Wisely optimize performance of your plastics materials by seeing in practice how to proceed on real-cases (material identification, contamination, failure analysis).

Best Combine Data from DSC, DMA, FTIR for optimal material analysis

Who should attend?

Material Scientists, Engineers, Quality Control professionals who find difficulties in analyzing and combining data from different characterization tools as a part of material characterization & problem solving.
