Dynamic Mechanical Analysis
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a technique used to study the mechanical properties of materials as they are subjected to varying temperatures and frequencies. It measures how materials respond to stress, providing insights into their elasticity, viscosity, and overall behavior under different conditions. This information is crucial for understanding how materials will perform in real-world applications.
DMA is commonly applied in the fields of polymer science, materials engineering, and quality control. By analyzing the viscoelastic properties of materials, researchers can optimize formulations and improve product performance, ensuring that materials meet specific requirements for durability and functionality.
