characterization - POLYCHAR 12
Task Group
Chairman: António
M. Cunha
Members: Júlio
C. Viana and João
F. Mano
Completion Date: 2004
Objective:
Provide knowledge on techniques of Polymer Characterization, particularly
so for participants from third world countries. At the same time
prepare the participants for understanding lectures and presentations
during the following 12th
Annual POLYCHAR World Forum on Advanced Materials (Polymer Applications
& Theory). POLYCHAR is derived from Polymer Characterization
Description:
There will be tutorial lectures by leading world experts on techniques
of Polymer Characterization. Topics include: Thermogravimetry; Differential
Scanning Calorimetry including StepScan and Thermally Modulated
Calorimetry; Thermal Mechanical Analysis; pVT-Measurements; Dynamic-Mechanical
Analysis; Mechanical Testing including Quasi-static and Transient
Techniques; Tribology including Friction, Scratch Testing and Surface
Tension Determination; Electron Microscopy; Interface Characterization;
Electrical Properties of Polymers; Polymer Spectroscopy
