About
As aerospace materials chemistry and technology evolve, accurate and nuanced materials characterization becomes essential to meet the design requirements of mission-critical components. This is realized in the rapid adoption of high-performance thermosets, thermoplastic composites, advanced additive chemistries, and many other technologies.

Evaluating key thermal and thermomechanical properties, such as the thermal stability, coefficient of thermal expansion, glass transition temperatures, melting point, and specific heat capacity is critical for optimizing material performance and refining processing methods.

This webinar will present an overview of the fundamental thermal analysis instrumentation which measure these key material properties, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and illustrate their application with industrially relevant polymeric and composite examples.

Attendees will learn:
- Compositional analysis by TGA
- Determining the linear coefficient of thermal expansion by TMA
- Advanced heat flow modes available on DSC
- Measuring the glass transition by DSC
- Using Modulated DSC for additional insights in polymeric systems
