Thermal Analysis

The performance of polymeric materials is often strongly influenced by the thermal transitions in the material. The presence and location of glass transitions and endotherms can be used as a diagnostic tool for determination of composition material similarity, or to help understand performance and behavior in use, as well as in root-cause analysis.
