Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis
• Rheology - the study of flow of materials• DMTA is Rheology on solids• Also called Dynamic Mechanical
Spectroscopy - it gives a spectrum of behavior of materials which are subjected to a dynamic or steady deformation.
![Page 3: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis
• DMTA looks at how materials respond to an imposed stress.
• The stress deforms the materials.• The DMTA measures the strain - how
far the material moves, and calculates how much energy is stored or dissipated during the process.

Mechanical Testing• Dynamic (Oscillatory) - Deformation
is applied as a sinusoidal function.
• Steady - Deformation is applied as a constant over a time period.

Hooke’s Law
• Describes the behavior of an ideal elastic solid.
• Relates the applied strain to the resultant stress (or visa versa).
• The proportionality factor is called the modulus of the material. Denoted as E or G

Review of terms• Young’s Modulus is the ratio of
dynamic stress to strain, E* (measured in tensile or bending mode)
• E= σ/ε • Shear Modulus is the ratio of
dynamic shear stress to strain, G*• G= τ/γ• for most rubbery polymers: E=3G
assuming a Poisson ratio of 1/2 (Poisson’s ratio is the linear contraction relative to the extension in tensile)

Review of terms
• Viscosity - the resistance of a material to flow. High viscosity materials need more force to make them flow than low viscosity materials.
• Shear thinning - materials that become thinner, lower viscosity, as you increase the stress deforming them.

Review of terms• Storage Modulus, E’ - component in
phase with the applied sinusoidal deformation; relates to stiffness of materials
• This is the elastic behavior of a material-the solid-like properties it displays
• The storage modulus is a measure of how a material stores the energy of deformation, and allows material to regain shape after deformation
![Page 15: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Review of terms
• Loss Modulus, E”- component out of phase with the applied sinusoidal deformation; relates to damping ability of material
• This is the viscous nature of the material -its liquid-like behavior
• The loss modulus is an indication of how the material dissipates the energy used to deform it.
![Page 16: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• This is also called the loss tangent.
• A high tan delta means a greater ability to dissipates stress and behave more like a liquid.

How does DMTA operate?DMTA is a Controlled Stress Instrument
• It generates data via a feedback loop: Strain is asked for in the method for stress is applied to the sample.
• Actual strain is measured, as is the applied stress to allow rheological data (E’,E”, tan delta) to be calculated.
![Page 21: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Position sensor/ drive shaft movement
• A current to the motor moves the drive shaft.• Motion of the drive shaft is detected by a
position sensor consisting of a static probe and a target attatched tot he drive shaft.
• Change in magnitude of gap between probe and target produces a current in the position sensor, which is converted into a distance measurement.
• All are thermally isolated from the furnace.
![Page 22: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How a data point is calculated• The User defines the geometry; accurate
measurements of the sample are CRUCIAL!• Strain is multiplied by a geometrical constant to give
an actual displacement that the DMTA will try to achieve.
• At the first data point 5% of the full scale allowable dynamic force is applied to the sample.
• Displacement is measured and the feed back loop takes over to control the force needed for the next data point.
• Note: this initial 5% dynamic force can be changed in software with version 6.4.1 and higher via the measurement options section.
![Page 23: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Achieving the strain desired...
• Chosen strain is divided by actual strain and if ratio is between 0.85 and 1.15 (+/-15% window,user selectable defaults) the measurement can be taken. If this ration is outside the window, the applied force is multiplied by this ration and again applied to the sample.
![Page 24: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Achieving strain levels….• Once strain falls within the window the standard
measurement process begins:• 2048 points are taken for strain and force from
1 to >64 cycles depending on frequency.• Strain and force are cross correlated to models
of a Sine and Cosine representing a perfect solid and fluid. This yields two phasors representing normalized strain and force amplitudes and their respective phase angles.
• Effects of mass of drive shaft and tools are taken into account to give correct applied force.
![Page 25: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Controlling the needed force...
• For the next data point the previous force is applied and if necessary modified to achieve the chosen displacement.
• Movement of the drive shaft due to sample “growth” does not affect the measurement of displacement in dynamic motion.
![Page 26: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Controlling temperature• Temp. is measured by a PRT in the
radiant oven. PID loops adjust the line voltage to power the furnace to heat.
• If using LN2, a solenoid (with 3 user selectable control features in ver. 6.4.1 and higher) allows LN2 into a cooling container surround the furnace, no LN2 ever touches the sample!
• Oven and LN2 can only operate if oven lid is fully closed- for safety reasons.

Important material behavior:• Materials that are stiff have a high
storage modulus, E’
• Soft materials have a high E”
• tan delta gives the ratio of the two: E”/E’
• Materials change properties at the glass transition, stiffness (E’),and ability to dissipate stress (E”) change rapidly, thus the ratio (tan delta) gives a peak.

DMTA IV has six pure modes of deformation
• Dual cantilever bending• Single cantilever bending• Three point bending• Tensile• Compression• Shear sandwich

How the deformation is made in bending
• Bending modes pull samples downward by a chosen amplitude then push up past zero to the same amplitude:
ClampNegative Strain amplitude
Positive Strainamplitude
Sample moves X microns in negative direction, then X microns in the positive direction

Dual/Single Cantilever Bending
• Adjustable lengths• Three frame sizes• For solid bars• Coatings on substrates• Layered materials• For specimens >1 mm
in thickness
![Page 66: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Three Point Bending
• Three frame sizes• For solid samples• Best geometry for
very high modulus(rigid) samples
• Eliminates edgeeffects from clamping
• For samples that“grow” with temp.

Shear Sandwich
• Pastes and gels• Elastomers• Best in horizontal
orientation• Useful for melts and
viscous fluids
![Page 72: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Sample types
• Thermoplastic - can melt and reform into a solid without significant change
• Thermoset - heating will not melt it, material will cure/cross link and harden
• Elastomer - lightly cross linked, pliable, will not melt
• Polymer blend, Copolymer or “Alloy”
![Page 73: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Sample’s physical states
• Material may be a solid rectangular bar• A solid film• A fiber or bundles of fibers• A polymer coating on a substrate• Thick melts or viscous liquids• Foams, wet or dry, soft or rigid• Pastes or gels
![Page 74: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Sample loading techniques
• Clamping torque is important!• Too much torque on the sample will
create stresses radiating into the sample and distorting the data
• Too light clamping torque can cause sample to slip
• Re-clamping at lower temp. after contraction may be necessary
![Page 75: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
How to avoid clamping effects
• Keep clamp tension reproducible --even if stress patterns affect absolute results, the run to run variations will be minimal
• Thicker specimens fare better• Use of rubber “grips” between steel
clamps and films improve results– sections of rubber bands can be used,
without introducing creep effect
![Page 76: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Sample measuring errors• When measurements on samples are
inexact, the moduli values are affected.• Specimens with uneven surfaces or
geometries will not give consistent moduli.• Bear in mind that moduli are usually
plotted in log form, a slight change visually on the graph is a large change in data.
• Transition temperatures will not be affected.

How films and fibers differ from other sample types
• Films and fibers are often more fragile requiring a gentle treatment in loading and testing
• Production often involves tremendous stresses on the material: drawing, orienting, annealing, extruding
• Internal stress causes rapid changes during and after Tg, measuring system must compensate rapidly
![Page 80: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
How films and fibers differ from other sample types
• Uneven thickness are more problematic since aspect ratio is extreme
• Measuring the thickness of films and fibers can be imprecise
• Because of difficulty in loading, good lighting is important over work area
![Page 81: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
How films and fibers differ from other sample types
• Deformation is in tensile, bending and compression generally not practical
• Sample length is more variable than bending modes: clamp geometry doesn’t interfere with size. Autogap keeps sample length constant.
![Page 82: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Using Multiple Fibers
• In many cases, the testing needs to use bundled fibers to represent real life
• Evenly distribute or wind the bundles• Avoid kinking that would make some
fibers longer than others• Approximate sample dimensions and do
not use absolute modulus values: run to run variations may be large
![Page 83: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Sample Loading considerationsfor films
• Curling of films– Electrostatic effects on thin films can cause
static attractions that make loading frustrating
– Small residual stresses in the film from processing can cause curling
– Thin brittle films are subject to cracking while trying to flatten for loading
![Page 84: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Sample Loading considerations- buckling
• Buckling during loading causes serious errors– Effective sample length is the shortest line
of contact by clamps, so by measuring the whole width you will have large errors, the buckled areas will not “feel” the force or deformation
– Difficult to evenly smooth sample as you load
– You can stretch the sample while doing so, causing stresses in the material
![Page 85: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Sample buckling
Even sample width
ClampsSmooth sample distributes stress evenly across sample width
Buckled sample has an effective width narrowed to only the region that is taut between the clamps, modulus values depend on correctly measured geometry
Sample width is taut region only
![Page 86: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
How to avoid buckling• Wider samples are harder to load- buckling is
more of a problem• Thin film samples are more difficult to keep
smooth• Load the stationary grips first- this will give
you a “third hand” as you align and smooth the sample, in case the mobile grips move during loading.
• Glance across the sample at an angle when loaded- do you see ripples?
![Page 87: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Auto-tension during a run• The force needed to keep a specimen taut
during a dynamic run can change• Dimensional changes
– as load remains on the sample it can creep– as a sample softens during heating it will
elongate, or shrinkage can occur as stress relaxation takes place
• Stiffness changes– modulus values change dramatically at Tg
![Page 88: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)

to the dynamic force, one must take care not to exceed linear viscoelastic regions

Auto-tension during a run• a static pre-tension will not keep specimen
taut, buckling will occur if sample elongates• static pretension alone can exceed plastic
deformation if sample shrinks• static pre-tension can exceed linear region as
sample softens• need to have tracking with autotension which
can change the force with changing sample modulus
![Page 90: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Tensile sample length
• In tensile geometry where a sample is long:– care must be taken to avoid temperature
gradients: heat rises run DMTA in horizontal orientation…. Or you will see:
– these temperature gradients can cause a broadening or doublet in Tg
– Failure can occur at the top edge, necking
![Page 91: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Residual Solvent content• Many materials contain residual solvent• This acts as a plasticizer, lowering
modulus and Tg• Measuring systems must avoid
changing the sample:– forced air convection furnaces “dry-out’
specimens– slow heating rates can also dry out and
embrittle the sample
![Page 92: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
What happens on sample drying
• Loss of moisture or residual solvent can raise the modulus of the material
• Without the plasticizer (or solvent) Tg is raised
• Embrittlement• Draw ratio decreases• Lower elongation at break
![Page 93: (eBook) - Engineering - Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/547f9348b4af9fb4158b59c8/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
