Mechanical analysis
DMA 1 STARe
The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of the DMA 1 STARe from Mettler Toledo applies a time-varying mechanical load (0.001 - 0 N, resolution: 0.25 mN, sensitivity: 1 mN) – usually in the form of a sinusoidal curve – to the sample depending on time and/or frequency (0.001 – 300 Hz, resolution: 0.0001 Hz, steps of 0.001 Hz; linear logarithmic or multi-frequency) and/or temperature (–190 – 600 °C, resolution: 0.1 K, accuracy: 0.75 K; heating/cooling rates: 0.1 – 20 K/min or 0.1 – 30 K/min). ... more
Kinexus Lab+ Rheometer
The Kinexus Lab+ rheometer from Malvern Pananalytical GmbH enables the rheological analysis of solid and hydrated samples (sample size: >1 cm). The frequency (10-7 – 100 Hz), temperature, shear rate (1.25*10-7 – 4000 s-1), amplitude and pressure (1.6*10-3 – 65000 Pa) can be changed. In addition to the plate measuring system, the device also has a cone measuring system for viscosity determinations.
