A Complete Cure Profile: Combining Rheology and Dielectric Analysis

Understanding cure progression is key to optimizing processes, ensuring quality and predicting the performance of the final material. By combining rotational rheometry and dielectric analysis in a single experiment, it is possible to capture complementary information throughout the Curing (Crosslinking Reactions)Literally translated, the term “crosslinking“ means “cross networking”. In the chemical context, it is used for reactions in which molecules are linked together by introducing covalent bonds and forming three-dimensional networks.curing process.

In this webinar, we introduce the new DEA cartridge for the NETZSCH Kinexus rheometer. While rheological measurements provide insight into viscosity development, mechanical changes and gelation behavior, the DEA 288 Ionic dielectric analyzer tracks Ionic mobility and molecular dynamics associated with the Curing (Crosslinking Reactions)Literally translated, the term “crosslinking“ means “cross networking”.
