The melting point of polymers is the critical temperature that characterizes the transition of crystalline polymers from an ordered crystalline state to a disordered liquid state, which directly affects the processing properties of materials (such as the temperature window for injection molding and extrusion) and the heat resistance of end-products.
| Project Background
The melting point of polymers is the critical temperature that characterizes the transition of crystalline polymers from an ordered crystalline state to a disordered liquid state, which directly affects the processing properties of materials (such as the temperature window for injection molding and extrusion) and the heat resistance of end-products. Accurately measuring the melting point is crucial for optimizing the processing technology and ensuring the dimensional stability and mechanical properties of materials in the service environment. Especially in high-temperature application fields (such as automotive engine components and electronic packaging materials), the melting point data is the core indicator for evaluating the suitability of materials.
| Project Overview
This test uses differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for measurement: Place the polymer sample in a sealed crucible and heat it at a constant rate. By monitoring the heat difference between the sample and the reference material, capture the endothermic peak of crystal melting; the peak temperature of the melting peak is defined as the melting point (Tm). This method can simultaneously obtain parameters such as melting enthalpy and crystallinity, and has the advantages of requiring a small amount of sample (5–10 mg) and high data reproducibility.
