Polymer characterization by:
- dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), glass transition temperature, complex modulus and crosslink density determination;
- mechanical determinations: stretching (stress-strain curves, Mooney-Rivlin curves, yielding, ultimate properties: tensile strength, elongation at break, set at break), hardness;
- IR, RMN and UV-VIS spectroscopy;
- gel permeation chromatography (GPC);
- differential scanning calorimetry (DSC);
- polymers in environment protection.
