Material characterization

·             Measurement of solids in torsion and extension

·             Relaxation measurements

·             Investigation of material properties as a function of temperature with higher sensitivity than DSC

·             Multiwave analysis to measure the frequency dependence of transition processes

The tools

·             Convection heating systems CTD 450 and CTD 600 with excellent temperature accuracy and stability from -150 ºC to +450 ºC (+600 ºC)

·             Solid torsion bar fixtures accommodate samples with rectangular or circular section up to a length of 50 mm

·             Sample thickness for rectangular samples: 0.25 to 12 mm
Sample diameter for circular samples: 0.5 to 7 mm

·             Tension measurements with Universal Extensional Fixture (UXF) for thin films and fibers with QuickSnap system for easy sample loading

·             Sample monitoring as well as image or video recording during measurement with the Digital Eye camera and CTD 450

·             Multiwave capability

·             Recording and presentation of all torsional and extensional data with the software

·             Wide range of workbook templates including analyses for the determination of transition points, slopes, etc.
