Polymer Characterization in Practice

Practical testing strategies for polymer development, processing, recycling, quality control, and composite applications.

Polymers are used in demanding applications where material properties, processability, consistency, and long-term performance all matter. Making informed decisions requires more than a single test result: thermal, rheological, mechanical, and compositional data must work together to provide a complete understanding of the material.

This webinar series explores how practical material characterization supports every stage of the polymer value chain—from material selection and product development to process optimization, incoming-material inspection, quality assurance, recycling, and composite manufacturing. Our experts will introduce key analytical methods, explain what the measured data means for real-world applications, and show how complementary techniques can help identify material differences before they become production challenges.

Topics include thermal transitions, Thermal StabilityA material is thermally stable if it does not decompose under the influence of temperature. One way to determine the thermal stability of a substance is to use a TGA (thermogravimetric analyzer). thermal stability, flow and viscoelastic behavior, recycled-polymer assessment, AI-supported polymer quantification, 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 behavior, and the thermal and mechanical performance of composites. Whether you work in R&D, processing, quality control, materials engineering, or recycling, this series will provide practical guidance for making confident, data-driven material decisions.
