Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and static relaxation tests are carried out to study the viscoelastic deformation of PC/ABS alloy with blending ratio of PC to ABS being 50/50. A modified approach is developed to calculate the relaxation modulus of PC/ABS alloy from the DMA experimental results of storage and loss moduli. Comparison of the results obtained from DMA and static relaxation tests is presented and good agreement is found.

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) tests are carried out to investigate the viscoelastic deformation of Polycabonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and PC/ABS alloys with ratio of PC to ABS being 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, respectively. Storage and loss moduli of PC, ABS and PC/ABS alloys are measured from 0.01Hz to 200Hz at 95oC with DMA tests. The relaxation moduli of PC, ABS and PC/ABS alloys are tested from static tests and compared with those calculated from storage and loss moduli. Effect of ABS fraction on storage and loss moduli and relaxation modulus of PC/ABS alloys is also discussed.

The α-relaxation temperatures (Tα), derived from the storage and loss moduli using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), were compared to methods for stickiness and glass transition determination for a selection of model whey protein concentrate (WPC) powders with varying protein contents. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and stickiness behavior was characterized using a fluidization technique. For the lower protein powders (WPC 20 and 35), the mechanical Tα determined from the storage modulus of the DMA (Tα onset) were in good agreement with the fluidization results, whereas for higher protein powders (WPC 50 and 65), the fluidization results compared better to the loss modulus results of the DMA (Tα peak). This study demonstrates that DMA has the potential to be a useful technique to complement stickiness characterization of dairy powders by providing an increased understanding of the mechanisms of stickiness.

In this work, the material properties of a series of fly ash/polyurea composites were studied. Dynamic mechanical analysis was conducted to study the effect of the fly ash volume fraction on the composite’s mechanical properties, i.e., on the material’s frequency- and temperature-dependent storage and loss moduli. It was found that the storage and loss moduli of the composite both increase as the fly ash volume fraction is increased. The storage and loss moduli of the composites relative to those of pure polyurea initially increase significantly with temperature and then slightly decrease or stay flat, attaining peak values around the glass transition region. The glass transition temperature (measured as the temperature at the maximum value of the loss modulus) shifted toward higher temperatures as the fly ash volume fraction increased. Additionally, we present the storage and loss moduli master curves for these materials obtained through application of the time-temperature superposition on measurements taken at a series of temperatures.

Polyester based composites were fabricated and characterized for their tensile, morphological and dynamic mechanical properties such as storage and loss moduli as a function of temperature. The morphological attributes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and COSLAB microscope. The morphological investigations have revealed a uniformly distributed polyester matrix of the composites. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed an enhancement in the energy dissipation ability of the composite 4GF and an average storage modulus of the composite 3GF/1FN relative to the soft polyester phase. The tensile modulus and tensile strength increased up to 0.5 %, accompanied by while the strain at break remained largely unaffected. Fractured surface morphology indicates that the failure mode of the composites undergoes a switch-over from matrix-controlled shear deformation to the filler-controlled loading of the composites for specific applications. Hence, the utilization of discarded fishnet incorporated composites mitigates the problem of waste disposal.

Abstract Specimens prepared from yacon roots in first two weeks after harvest were tested by dynamic mechanical analysis thermal analysis at temperatures between 30 and 90°C. No differences between different parts of roots were proved. There were indicated some differences in the test parameters that were caused by short time storage of the roots. One source of the differences was loss of water during the roots storage. The measured modulus increased during short time storage. Detailed study of changes of the modulus during the specimen dynamic mechanical analysis test provided information about different development of the storage and loss moduli during the specimen heating. The observed results can be caused by changes in cellular membranes observed earlier during vegetable heating, and by composition changes due to less stable components of yacon like inulin.
