And you can help us keep our selection of publications up-to-date. We invite you to send us reprints of your own publications on these topics!


NETZSCH Annuals for Science and Industry - The Guide for Practicians
Thermal analysis is an indispensable tool in polymer technology. Manufacturers, processors and users employ the methods for material development and quality assurance through control of raw materials and goods received, process optimization and failure analysis.

Valuable tips, numerous application examples, clear tables with characteristic material data and relevant standards are compiled in this series of annuals for everyday use in the laboratory. The volumes, which are the result of the many years of experience of the Polymer Applications Laboratory, NETZSCH-Geraetebau GmbH and the Fachhochschule Wuerzburg-Schweinfurt-Aschaffenburg, complement one another with respect to the materials investigated and the methods used (DSC, TG, DMA, TMA).

The team of authors is especially pleased about the response to the annuals in the form of letters and discussions from our large circle of readers and users on the most varied topics of thermal analysis.

You too can use these "recipes" for your routine laboratory tasks!

Focus on:
Thermal Analysis
for Paints
S. Knappe, H. Möhler,
J. Opfermann, H. Walter

Is the paint already cured? How many and which solvents are still contained in the paint? Which emissions occur in the applied temperature range? Why can the paint be applied better by the competitor? Why does the painted part break?

 

Such different questions must frequently be answered for the development of paints. Conventional tests are often only single-point measurements and therefore not sufficient. In order to better understand the most complex influences, more comprehensive analyses are highly demanded.

 

The proven thermoanalytical methods in polymer technology according to DIN 51005 or ASTM E 472 offer an excellent tool. The NETZSCH applications volume Focus on Thermal Analysis for Paints was released in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt, Department of Plastics and Rubber Engineering, featuring the wide range of application with practical examples from industry. With the help of DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) investigations of clear and soft coats as well as paint structures are presented. Solvents and decomposition products of hydro clear coats and soft coats are identified by using TG-FTIR (Thermogravimetry with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). Main emphasis was put on describing the curing behavior of powder paints by means of DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). These results were kinetically analyzed and simulated, together with rheometer measurements, with the new software package ChemRheo® regarding practice-related temperature profiles. This will not only support developers and users in the field of paints, but will also give them new ideas for their daily work.

Focus on:
Thermal Analysis
for Polymers
H. Möhler, S.Knappe

 

The status of thermal analysis in polymer technology has clearly risen internationally over the past ten to fifteen years. In particular, DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) has long been successfully applied in routine testing of goods received, quality control and quality assurance at injection molding and extrusion processors. In the rubber industry, quantitative analysis of rubber by means of TG (Thermogravimetry) and verification of vulcanization using DSC are becoming increasingly important. The curing of thermosets is being investigated with DSC, aided by reaction kinetics. DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) and TMA (Thermomechanical Analysis) are being used more and more frequently, especially with composite materials and in blend technology.

 

In literature, thermal analysis has almost always been considered separately. In the applications volume, "Focus on: Thermal Analysis for Polymers", released 1998 by the Fachhochschule Würzburg-Schweinfurt-Aschaffenburg, Studiengang Kunststofftechnik and NETZSCH-Gerätebau GmbH, practical industrial topics will be used to explain correlations between thermoanalytical measurement techniques and conventional test methods used in mechanics, physical chemistry and process technology. In addition, examples will be presented dealing with material and component development. The significance of thermal analysis as a quick, economical test method will be emphasized.

 

Please read also the English translation of the book review "Focus on: Thermal Analysis for Polymers" from Martin Dohn, Dingolfing, published in German language in the GEFTA Notes 2/2000.

Ceramic Handbook - "TA for Ceramic Materials"

The 2nd edition of the NETZSCH Industrial Applications Handbook, "TA for Ceramic Materials" is now available. Here, in addition to an introduction to the various methods of thermal analysis, over 30 examples are presented for raw and building materials, silicate ceramics and glass, and, for technical ceramics, mechanical applications as well as electronic, magnetic and optical applications. Instruments/methods addressed are the dilatometer (DIL), thermomechanical analyzer (TMA), glaze stress tester (GST), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer (TG), simultaneous thermal analyzer (STA), STA/evolved gas analysis and the laser flash apparatus (LFA). The application examples have been updated and edited, and some new examples - in particular, from the classic "oxide ceramics" - have been added.

For a global view of the possible applications of modern thermal analysis in research, development and quality assurance of ceramics, order your copy today: e-mail: NIB-Sales@netzsch.com.
