Dynamic Mechanical Spectroscopy Using the Autovibron (DDV-III-C).

Abstract

The Autovibron DDV-IIIC (IMASS, Inc.) is a forced vibration unit capable of operating at several constant frequencies for the determination of the dynamic mechanical response of a system. The automation provides a programmed heating rate, continuous sample tensioning, and acquisition and reduction of data. Problems have been encountered with sample alignment, tension adjustment and the measurement of low tan delta values. Results obtained at several frequencies using the Autovibron for MBS-modified and unmodified PVC samples and a commercially available mineral-reinforced nylon composite (Minlon 12T, duPont) are reported. It is concluded that this instrument has good potential for the convenient determination of dynamic spectra of polymers and their composites. (Author)
