Thermal Analysis of Elastomers

Elastomers are employed in many industries because of their unique elastic properties. The automotive, aerospace and defense industries use elastomers for tires, tubes, dampers, coatings, and seals. Smaller parts made of elastomers can also be found in other industries.
The four main techniques of thermal analysis, DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA are ideal for characterizing such materials from –150 to 1600 °C as function of temperature or time.

Thermal analysis is an excellent method for the characterization of elastomers because their properties are strongly dependent on temperature. In this Webinar, we will show how thermal analysis is used to analyze elastomers and will present some typical examples of samples measured by DSC, TGA, TMA or DMA.
