Materiali Termoisolanti
Polystyrene (PS)
The temperature-dependent change in volume of polystyrene can be measured with a dilatometer using a special cylinder as a sample holder.
Before the 1st heating, the sample was aged below Temperatura di transizione vetrosaLa transizione vetrosa è una delle più importanti proprietà chimico-fisiche dei materiali amorfi e semi-cristallini, come, ad esempio, vetri, metalli (amorfi), polimeri, ingredienti farmaceutici e alimentari e definisce l’intervallo di temperatura in cui le proprietà meccaniche die materiali variano da duro e fragile a più morbido, malleabile o gommoso.glass transition temperature (Tg); the 2nd heating was conducted on the same sample after controlled cooling. The volume RelaxationWhen a constant strain is applied to a rubber compound, the force necessary to maintain that strain is not constant but decreases with time; this behavior is known as stress relaxation. The process responsible for stress relaxation can be physical or chemical, and under normal conditions, both will occur at the same time. relaxation for the 1st heating is clearly visible at the Tg, as is the change in slope at the Tg for the 2nd heating.
