As industries push for stronger, more durable materials in demanding applications like aerospace, automotive, and electronics, understanding polymer’s real-world performance beyond standard specification is crucial. Material selection usually begins with the material specification sheet, but this information often provides only a general overview and may not address how materials perform under specific or extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or prolonged stress.

Effective material validation is especially important when using complex or mixed materials. Choosing the wrong material can lead to significant repercussions, including increased costs, production delays, and potential product recalls. By addressing these issues early in the process, companies can save time and resources, avoid costly recalls, and deliver products that meet the highest standards of quality and safety.

This whitepaper contains comprehensive studies of polymer structure and properties, showing how these analysis methods help engineers and designers ensure performance and longevity in demanding applications.

What You’ll Learn:

• Understand polymer material behavior beyond standard ISO and ASTM specifications
• Predict polymer performance under specific application conditions, including temperature and mechanical stress
• Reveal temperature-dependent polymer behavior with dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
• Evaluate mechanical strength through tensile testing to assess material reliability
• Investigate how cyclic loading and manufacturing variabilities impact long-term durability
• Learn how prolonged stress affects polymer deformation and material integrity
• Diagnose material failure using fractography and fatigue analysis to enhance reliability

With real experimental data and analysis, this whitepaper prepares material scientists and engineers to go beyond the specification sheet, making informed decisions and avoiding costly failures.
