This series of articles is designed to help molders understand how a few analytical tools can help diagnose a part failure. Michael Sepe is our analyst and author. He is the technical director at ...

Glass transition temperature (T g) is usually measured in relation to material stiffness, or modulus, and may also be known as the principal relaxation. The glass transition temperature of a thermoset ...

The glass transition of polymer materials is a crucial factor that affects material properties. Typically, this transition is analyzed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). However, sometimes ...
