Torsion Impregnated Cloth Analysis (TICA)

Abstract

Torsion Impregnated Cloth Analysis (TICA) uses fiber glass cloth as support for polymeric resins and measures the cloth-resin composite's in-phase and out-of-phase dynamic mechanical responses with a Rheometrics Mechanical Spectrometer. The TICA thermoscan results of a thermo-plastic were compared with that of the neat material. A similar comparison was made between the isothermal curing results of a thermosetting resin and the corresponding parallel plate and TBA measurements. The peaks associated with the vitrification were verified to correspond to those in the glass transition region.
