DMA Master Curve Construction and the TTS Principle
Understanding the viscoelastic behavior of materials under different loading conditions is crucial for effective material selection, processing, research, and quality control. However, instrument limitations mean it is not always possible to evaluate materials at extreme loading frequencies.
By employing the time-temperature superposition (TTS) technique to construct a DMA master curve, we can predict relaxation behavior beyond the capabilities of a dynamic mechanical analyzer. This approach provides valuable insights for material characterization and application development.
