Physical Properties of Materials• Melting Point• Boiling Point• Density• Heat and Electric Conductance / Resistance• Thermal Expansion• Young’s Modulus / Tensile Strength• Refractive Index• Viscosity• Glass Transition Temperature

Thermogravimeteric Analyzer

• Measures weight loss upon heating, cooling, or when held at a constant temperature.

• The machine is basically a furnace with a microbalancer that is used to characterize materials with regard to their composition.

DSC - Differential Scanning Calorimeter

measures temperatures and heat flows associated with thermal transitions in a material

Glass Transition Temperature - Tg

the temperature at which a solid, such as glass or a polymer,becomes brittle (crystalline) on cooling, or soft (amorphous) on heating
