A Comparison of the Glass Transition Measured by DSC, TMA and DMA

Purpose

To compare the glass temperatures determined by the three different measuring techniques, DSC, TMA and DMA and to discuss important factors. 

 

Sample

Cured KU600 epoxy resin powder. 

 

Conditions

The measured curves and evaluations have been described and discussed in the previous examples. The results are summarized below.
