Plastic Datasheets: What They Do and Don't Tell Us

Advanced Material Characterization: Rheology and DMA Using a Combined
                        Axial-torsional Multidrive System 

  Summary

Rheometers or dynamic mechanical analyzers that are able to combine two drive units (rotational and linear drive) in one setup have opened new horizons in characterization of polymeric materials. The Multidrive concept enables various modes of operation by using different combinations of the top and bottom drive in the system. Three different testing modes can be realized when using the upper rotational motor and additionally a second rotational motor as the bottom drive.

Datasheets present information representing material properties, predominantly as single point data.

  • What are the issues with the single point numbers listed on these datasheets?
  • Why does sole reliance on this information often lead to failed product?
  • What should we be doing instead?

Selecting the proper material for an application requires the right data. While plastic projects have evolved over the past 50 years, the data we are given has not evolved. This webinar will present the deficiencies of the information presented on plastic data sheets, and suggest what is really needed for successful material selection and product design.
