Some applications of thermomechanical analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to show some possibilities of Thermomechanical Analysis in material research. It was demonstrated that the intercalation process or physical aging of non-crystalline materials can successfully be studied by this method. The measurement of thermal expansion coefficient of solid or viscosity of highly undercooled glass forming liquids are interesting applications. The results of these measurements yield valuable information which can be of help in material processing.
