DMA 303 Eplexor®
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA/DMTA) is a powerful technique for probing the mechanical behavior of materials, especially the viscoelastic properties crucial for polymers. It works by applying oscillating forces and deformations under changing conditions like temperature, time, and frequency. By analyzing the material’s response, DMA provides valuable insights into its elasticity and damping characteristics.
Advanced DMA 303 Eplexor®, offer exceptional precision and can handle a broad variety of samples and applications. User-friendly software and improved ergonomics make them well-suited for intensive use in research and quality control labs.
