Material Composition & Thermal Analysis — explaining root causes from composition and thermal behavior.
Subjects of Review
- Epoxy resins, hardeners and additives
- Carbon fiber sizing and resin composition
- Before/after cure, and normal vs. defective samples
Analysis Items
- FT-IR:functional groups and structural features
- HPLC:comparison of separable components
- DSC/TGA:cure, thermal transitions and thermal stability
- Rheology:viscosity change with temperature and time
Analytical methods, quantifiable range and test procedures are agreed after reviewing samples, reference standards and equipment conditions.
Deliverables
- 01Interpretation of results and sample-to-sample comparison
- 02Root cause hypotheses and additional verification items
