The database includes a wide range of polymer classes, such as commodity thermoplastics, high-temperature thermoplastics, elastomers and many more. This allows you to compare materials across different application classes on a consistent data basis.

Each polymer entry provides a complete and systematic material profile:

• Glass transition, melting and CrystallizationCrystallization is the physical process of hardening during the formation and growth of crystals. During this process, heat of crystallization is released.crystallization temperatures
• Thermophysical properties: Specific Heat Capacity (cp)Heat capacity is a material-specific physical quantity, determined by the amount of heat supplied to specimen, divided by the resulting temperature increase. The specific heat capacity is related to a unit mass of the specimen.specific heat capacity, Thermal ConductivityThermal conductivity (λ with the unit W/(m•K)) describes the transport of energy – in the form of heat – through a body of mass as the result of a temperature gradient (see fig. 1). According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat always flows in the direction of the lower temperature.thermal conductivity, DensityThe mass density is defined as the ratio between mass and volume. density
• Mechanical indicators and material structure
• Processing methods, applications and modifications
• Real measurement data (e.g. DSC curves with defined test conditions)

You get reliable answers for real decisions:

• Choose the right polymer faster
• Compare materials on a consistent data basis
• Understand thermal behavior under application-relevant conditions
• Support simulation, development and quality control

👉 All information is based on thermal analyses performed with NETZSCH instruments and enables a well-founded comparison of materials on a scientific basis.
