Scope
This document describes a method for determining the glass transition temperature (Tg) by measuring dynamic mechanical properties at a constant heating rate. The glass transition temperature is the temperature corresponding to the transition from a hard and relatively brittle glass state to a highly elastic or viscous fluid state in an amorphous polymer or in the amorphous regions of a partially crystalline polymer. This document applies to unreinforced and filled polymers, foams, rubbers, adhesives and fibre-reinforced plastics/composites. The method described is limited to materials that are stable above Tg, i.e. amorphous materials that transform into a highly elastic state or partially crystalline materials that retain their shape due to crystallization. NOTE: Tg values measured with the instrument may vary due to material properties or test setup. The temperature sensor in the DMA instrument is not in contact with the sample to be tested, so it measures the temperature of the surrounding environment of the sample to be tested. The test results may vary with the heating rate, therefore, a method is applied to consider the influence of thermal hysteresis on the test data.
