Polymer analytics

Polymer analysis is still very important in the laboratory world. In this seminar, you will be introduced to two essential methods in detail: solution viscosity and contact angle measurement. Both cover relevant material properties and you will have the opportunity to have these techniques explained in theory and practice. The seminar is held in cooperation with LAUDA Scientific. You will be introduced to capillary viscometry for the determination of molecular parameters by means of the determination of the viscosity number, the IV-value and the K-value. In addition, you will be familiarized with the technique of contact angle measurement, and selected analytical methods will be presented. The emphasis is on very practical demonstrations of both techniques. Measurement series for automated dilution viscosity as well as gravimetric sample preparation will be examined and typical sources of error in everyday laboratory work will be pointed out. The Kunststoff-Zentrum Leipzig will provide an insight into the analytical methods used there.

Rheology and thermal analysis

The description of the material properties of plastics is essential for the design of processing procedures and for quality assurance. Rheometric investigations can be used to characterize the flow and deformation behavior of thermoplastic polymers and to better understand their structure-viscosity behavior during processing. The test methods of thermal analysis open up the possibility of identifying relationships between processing conditions, microstructure and material properties of plastics. In this way, polymers can be identified and processing-related material damage can be detected. In this seminar, the theoretical fundamentals of rheology and thermal analysis are combined with practical demonstrations of the equipment in the laboratory and pilot plant. Concrete application examples from the practice of the accredited testing laboratory at the KUZ will be used to show what information can be obtained from the recorded measurement curves.
