Thermal analysis for quality assurance and quality control of rubber
Two methods of the thermal analysis, the thermogravimetry and the dynamic difference calorimetry, can be used for quality control and quality assurance of rubber products, They do not need much time, The monitoring of the composition is possible and the investigation of the complete vulcanization also, There are important application parameters as for example the glass transition temperature, Optimization of the formulation and the vulcanization parameters (time, temperature) are possible by this methods.
