Polymer Syntheses

Polymer material characterization

  • Prepared polyolefin materials could be studied by various methods from the viewpoint of their structure and mechanical properties:
  • ​polyolefin powder characterization - bulk density, particle size distribution, scanning electron microscopy, porosity, pourability 
  • polyolefin structure characterization - MFR, XS, DSC, TGA, ICP, intrinsic viscosity, 13C-NMR, pulsed 1H-NMR, GPC, FTIR, SSA/DSC, SIS/DSC, CEF, preparative TREF, VOC
  • mechanical properties - tensile properties, TM, FM, Charpy and Izod impact strength, Shore D hardness, Vicat softering temperature, HDT, CLTE, shrinkage
  • rheology - oscillation and capillary rheometers
