Dynamic mechanical analysis has left the exclusive domain of the rheologist, becoming a prevalent tool in the analytical laboratory. This practical introduction to the field provides a starting point from which to delve into the applications of DMA, its workings, and its advantages and limitations. Discussions include rheological concepts, stress—strain relationships, data handling, experimental techniques and considerations, test methods such as frequency sweeps and time—temperature curves, data analysis, and more. The book includes a strong presentation of real-life DMA applications.
