TA Instruments Q800 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer
The DMA is used to measure properties such as stiffness modulus and energy dissipation
of composites, thin films and elastomers, tan delta, glass transition temperatures
and secondary transitions. The available modes of operation include Isostrain, Multi-frequency
mode, Creep/stress relaxation, Controlled force/strain and Multi-stress/strain mode.
The accessories available include
- Thin film tension clamps: Ideal for films, fibers and low modulus materials. A spring loaded grip insures constant contact with the sample
- Single/dual cantilever bending clamps: Ideal for general-purpose mode for evaluating thermoplastics and highly damped materials, the samples is clamped at both ends.
