Plastics, polymers, additives and resins characterization by rheometry and calorimetry.
All components of a resin and mixtures of the polymer/base resin and each one of the additives is analyzed using calorimetry, particularly by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, with this information all components that modify physically and chemically the base resin/polymer are identified. The interaction strength between the base resin/polymer and each one of the additives are quantitated, with this information the proportion of each additive is optimized for the final product so as to tailor all desired properties.
These materials can be formulated for tailoring their mechanical properties, flow ability, and weather performance as required for the intended usage.
The processing conditions can be optimized by using the thermal properties of the final polymer/resin. This will improve all properties of the final product, and will help on reducing scrap and product out of specs.
