Time-temperature superposition has applications in many fields - from chemistry (accelerated aging) to mechanical studies with master curve generation. This is something I find satisfying about science - the deeper you dive into thermodynamics and physics, the more you find similarities among seemingly unrelated fields, like the similarity between the application of the Boltzmann superposition principle to use thermokinetics prediction of slow reactions over long time scales and the use of that same principle for master curve generation in mechanical behavior. #Science #Physics #Chemistry

We know that one of the reasons that students choose to come to Cranfield to study an MSc in Advanced Materials is access to a vast range of world-class facilities. As our students approach the initiation of their Group Research Projects, we’ve decided to highlight some of the facilities available within the Composites and Advanced Materials Centre at Cranfield University. Today we are highlighting our Thermal Rheological Mechanical Analysis Suite (THERMMAT). The THERMMAT facility is state-of-the-art and offers a wide range of equipment for investigating the thermomechanical behaviour of a variety of materials including composites, metals, polymers, ceramics and more. Some of our featured applications include: 🔬 Evaluation of the conductivities of thermal barrier coatings for automotive engines (LFA). 🌠 Thermal degradation response of ablative polymer materials (TGA). 🏭 Characterisation of re-processing conditions for novel vitrimer based resins for use in aerospace (DMA, Rheometry). 🌡 Study of the thermal stability of carbon-based advanced materials, like graphene (TGA). 🔍 Characterisation of viscoelastic properties of a new generation of sustainable rubber formulations (Rheometer). Read more about this facility here https://lnkd.in/eSQfCpDr and don’t be afraid to get in touch to find out more, whether you’re a past, current or prospective student or if you just think this stuff is cool and want to know more about using our facilities. #advancedmaterials #polymers #ceramics #metals #compositematerials #glasses

🔎🔎🔎Hey!! You know what's called Dynamic Mechanical Analysis??? (DMA) 🔎🔎🔎 💫💫I had an opportunity to explore that in polymer composites!!💫💫 ❣️❣️In the world of materials science, Dynamic  Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a powerful technique that provides crucial insights into the mechanical behavior of materials, particularly polymer composites. By applying an oscillatory force and measuring the material's response, DMA helps us understand how these materials behave under varying conditions of stress, temperature, and frequency.❣️❣️ 💡💡Recently, I had the opportunity to delve into the dynamic mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) incorporating hollow glass microspheres (HGMs). Through systematic experimentation, we discovered that incorporating HGMs not only enhanced the mechanical strength but also contributed to lower density, higher tensile and flexural strengths, and better wear resistance.💡💡 🎉🎉What stood out was the increased loss modulus observed at elevated temperatures, indicating enhanced energy dissipation capabilities—key for applications in demanding environments such as aerospace, automotive, and marine sectors.🎉🎉DMA continues to be an essential tool in the development of advanced materials, offering a deeper understanding of their viscoelastic behavior. The potential applications of these findings are vast, pushing the boundaries of innovation in material science.
