15、ynamic mechanical analyzerany of various commercial or experimental devices used to study the viscoelastic responseof a specimen under a forced or free resonant oscillatory load. The force may be applied in torsion, flexure, or a combination oftension and compression.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A s
16、pecimen of known geometry is placed in mechanical oscillation at either fixed or resonant frequency and changes in theviscoelastic response of the material are monitored as a function of temperature. Under ideal conditions, during heating, the glasstransition region is marked by a rapid decrease in
17、the storage modulus and a rapid increase in the loss modulus and tangent delta.The glass transition of the test specimen is indicated by the extrapolated onset of the decrease in storage modulus which marksthe transition from a glassy to a rubbery solid.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method ca
18、n be used to locate the glass transition region and assign a glass transition temperature of amorphousand semi-crystalline materials.5.2 Dynamic mechanical analyzers monitor changes in the viscoelastic properties of a material as a function of temperature andfrequency, providing a means to quantify
19、these changes. In ideal cases, the temperature of the onset of the decrease in storagemodulus marks the glass transition.5.3 A glass transition temperature (Tg) is useful in characterizing many important physical attributes of thermoplastic,thermosets, and semi-crystalline materials including their
20、thermal history, processing conditions, physical stability, progress ofchemical reactions, degree of cure, and both mechanical and electrical behavior. Tg may be determined by a variety of techniquesand may vary in accordance with the technique.5.4 This test method is useful for quality control, spe
21、cification acceptance, and research.6. Interferences6.1 Because the specimen size will usually be small, it is essential that each specimen be homogeneous and/oror representativeof the material as a whole.whole, or both.6.2 An increase or decrease in heating rates from those specified may alter resu
22、lts.6.3 A transition temperature is a function of the experimental frequency, therefore the frequency of test must always bespecified. (The transition temperature increases with increasing frequency.) Extrapolation to a common frequency may beaccomplished using a predetermined frequency shift factor
23、 or assuming the frequency shift factor of about 8 C8C per decade offrequency.4 Such extrapolation shall be reported.7. Apparatus7.1 The function of the apparatus is to hold a specimen of uniform dimension so that the sample acts as the elastic anddissipative element in a mechanically oscillated sys
24、tem. Dynamic mechanical analyzers typically operate in one of several modes.See Table 1.7.2 The apparatus shall consist of the following:7.2.1 Clamps, a clamping arrangement that permits gripping of the specimen. Samples may be mounted by clamping at bothends (most systems), one end (for example, to
25、rsional pendulum), or neither end (free bending between knife edges).7.2.2 Oscillatory Stress (Strain), for applying an oscillatory deformation (strain) or oscillatory stress to the specimen. Thedeformation may be applied and then released, as in freely vibrating devices, or continuously applied, as
26、 in forced vibrationdevices.4 Ferry, D. “Viscoelastic Properties of Polymers,” John Wiley dec = decaying amplitude; forced = forced oscillation;CA = constant amplitude; res = resonant frequency; fix = fixed frequency;CS = controlled stress.E1640 1327.2.3 Detector, for determining the dependent and i

Samples9.1 Samples may be any uniform size or shape, but are ordinarily analyzed in rectangular form. If some heat treatment is appliedto the specimen to obtain this preferred analytical form, suc
34、h treatment should be noted in the report.reported.9.2 Due to the numerous types of dynamic mechanical analyzers, sample size is not fixed by this test method. In many cases,specimens measuring between 1 5 20 mm and 1 10 50 mm are suitable.NOTE 2It is important to select a specimen size appropriate
35、for both the material and the testing apparatus. For example, thick samples may berequired for low modulus materials while thin samples may be required for high modulus materials.10. Calibration10.1 Calibrate the storage modulus modulus, loss modules, and temperature signals in accordance withTest M
36、ethods E1867 and, E2254, and E2425, respectively.11. Procedure11.1 Mount the specimen in accordance with procedure recommended by the manufacturer.11.2 Measure the length, width, and thickness of the specimen to an accuracy of 60.01 mm.11.3 Maximum strain amplitude should be within the linear viscoe
37、lastic range of the material. Strains of less than 1 % arerecommended and should not exceed 5 %.11.4 Conduct tests at a heating rate of 1 C/min 1C/min and a frequency of 1 Hz. Other heating rates and frequencies may beused but shall be reported.NOTE 3The glass transition temperature measured by dyna
38、mic mechanical measurements is dependent upon heating rate and oscillatory frequency.The experimental heating rate and the frequency of oscillation should be slow enough to allow the entire specimen to reach satisfactory thermal andmechanical equilibration. When the heating rate or oscillatory rate
39、is high, the experimental time scale is shortened, and the apparent Tg is raised.Changing the time scale by a factor of 10 will generally result in a shift of about 8 C 8C for a typical amorphous material. The effect of these variableson the temperature of the tangent delta peak may be observed by r
40、unning specimens at two or more rates and comparing the results (see AppendixX1appendix).).NOTE 4Where possible in automated systems, a minimum of one data point should be collected for each C increase in temperature.At low and highfrequencies, use care in the selection of scanning rate and frequenc
41、y rate; select test conditions and a data collection rate that will ensure adequateresolution of the mechanical response of the specimen. For example, select a heating rate that allows the specimen to complete at least one oscillationfor each Ceach C increase in temperature.11.5 Measure and record t

Calculation12.1 For the purpose of this test method the glass transition shall be taken as the extrapolated onset to the sigmoidal change inthe storage modulus observed in going from the hard, brittle
43、region to the soft, rubbery region of the material under test.E1640 133NOTE 5Storage modulus may be displayed on a linear or logarithmic scale. The reported glass transition temperature will differ depending upon thescale chosen. The scale type (for example, linear or logarithmic) shall be reported
44、and must be the same for all parties comparing results.12.1.1 Construct a tangent to the storage modulus curve below the transition temperature.12.1.2 Construct a tangent to the storage modulus curve at the inflection point approximately midway through the sigmoidalchange associated with the transit
45、ions.12.1.3 The temperature at which these tangent lines intersect is reported as the glass transition temperature, Tg (see Fig. 1).NOTE 6Under special circumstances agreeable to all parties, other temperatures taken from the storage modulus, loss modulus, or tangent delta curvemay be taken to repre

Among these alternative temperatures are the peak of theloss modulus (Tl ) or tangent delta (Tt ) curves as illustrated in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, respectively. These temperatures are generally in the order Tg Tl Tt .12.2 For fixed f
