- How DMA is used in different industries
- Real-life analysis examples
- Interactive Q&A session
Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a well-established technique for characterizing the mechanical properties of many different materials. These include plastics, adhesives, composites, rubber, coatings, films, and fibers. It is an excellent technique for determining effects such as the glass transition, curing, modulus, damping, viscoelasticity, and vulcanization.
What Type of Information Can We Get From DMA?
DMA provides quantitative and qualitative information on:
- Young’s modulus and shear modulus values
- Damping characteristics and viscoelastic behavior
- Polymer structure and morphology
- Flow and relaxation behavior
This type of information is very important for the research and development of new materials, as well as for quality control and failure analysis.

Presenter: Angela Hammer (Dr. sc. nat. ETH)Dr. Angela Hammer received a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry (development of immobilized components for the use in ion-selective electrodes based on polyurethane membranes) from the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich, Switzerland. She then joined Sika Technology AG in Zurich, Switzerland, as an analytical chemist. In 2007, she joined METTLER TOLEDO and has worked there since as an application specialist for Thermal Analysis. In her present position, she uses, teaches, and supports DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA instruments for the METTLER TOLEDO’s Materials Characterization Group located at the head office in Switzerland.
