Acquisition of a Comprehensive, Dynamic Thermal Analysis System

9625861马丁这项奖励将支持收购用于材料表征的全面动态热分析系统。该系统将包括五(5)个模块，包括高灵敏度差示扫描色度计(DSC)、高温DSC、动态机械分析仪(DMA)、热机械分析仪(TMA)和介电热分析仪(DEA)，这些模块通过一个基于中央多任务Unix的计算机控制器进行控制。合并后的单元将为目前无法获得的材料提供热表征。所有类型的材料，从无机硫化物玻璃到金属间化合物，再到低温玻璃、有机聚合物和玻璃-聚合物熔融混合物，都将被研究。%该仪器将增加爱荷华州立大学在新材料合成、加工和表征方面所需的能力，这对于获得有关加工相关性质及其化学和相纯度的信息非常重要。

9625861 Martin This award will support the acquisition of a comprehensive dynamic thermal analysis system for materials characterization. The system will include five (5) modules for high-sensitivity differential scanning colorimeter (DSC), a high-temperature DSC, a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), a thermal mechanical analyzer (TMA), and a dielectric thermal analyzer (DEA), controlled through a central multi- tasking UNIX based computer controller. The combined units will provide thermal characterization for materials not currently available. All types of materials, ranging from inorganic chalcogenide glasses to intermetallic compounds to low-temperature glasses, organic polymers, and glass-polymer melt blends, will be studied. %%% This instrumentation will add needed capability at Iowa State University for use in new materials synthesis, processing, and characterization, important for obtaining information on processing dependent properties, and their chemical and phase purity.
