TA Instruments and Waters Corporation are pleased to offer a free one-day workshop focused on thermal analysis, rheology, and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) techniques for the characterization of a wide range of materials. The workshop will provide a working knowledge of each technique and how these methods are used to characterize material properties. General concepts and specific examples will be used to illustrate how these methods are employed to characterize molecular structure, processability, and final performance properties. Researchers will gain practical knowledge of the measurement techniques along with the tools to get the most out of their instrumentation. The newest features of our control and analysis software will be demonstrated to help improve data reduction and interpretation of results.  By discussing common applications, the attendees will also learn how each testing technique can be used to differentiate materials and ultimately predict and optimize product performance.

This practical workshop is geared for both experienced users that want to better understand the measurement technologies, and those new to thermal analysis, GPC, DMA and rheology. If you are not yet currently using these characterization techniques, this seminar will provide insight into how the instrumentation may complement your existing laboratory capabilities. The workshop will also be a great opportunity to meet and discuss your testing needs with our applications specialists and other local user groups.
