Innovation in rubber and elastomer measurement technology with Linseis THB

The future of rubber and elastomer measurement

We are proud to announce an exciting development in the world of elastomer and rubber measurement technology. Our italian distributor has recently published an article in the prestigious publication ‘L’Industria Della Gomma’ highlighting the ground-breaking advances in this field.

The article, which can be found on page 46 of the magazine, covers the fascinating topic of ‘Measuring the conductivity and thermal conductivity of elastomers and rubber’. This article dives deep into the world of rubber and elastomer research and reveals the latest findings in this field.

One of the most exciting developments highlighted in the article is the use of Linsei’s Transient Hot Bridge, or THB, measurement method. This advanced technology enables not only the precise measurement of the thermal conductivity of elastomers and rubber, but also the determination of the thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity for a wide range of materials. The Linseis THB promises to revolutionize the future of materials research and product development in these areas.

Versatile applications in various industries

Elastomers and rubber are extremely versatile materials that are widely used in various industries, including the automotive, food and chemical industries. Understanding their thermal properties, especially thermal conductivity, is crucial for the development of high-performance products in these sectors. Advances in measurement technology, as represented by the THB, promise to take product development and quality assurance in these industries to the next level.

Thermal conductivity of porous carbon materials

Porous carbon materials, in particular carbon aerogels, are the focus of current research. These materials are characterized by an extremely low thermal conductivity, which is mainly due to their porous structure and low bulk density.

Glass Transition Temperature

The glass transition temperature Tg is a point on the temperature scale at which a polymer or glass changes into a rubbery, viscous state. However, this is not the same as the melting point.

Thermal Interface Materials – Overview and application

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are used in the field of electronics to ensure efficient heat dissipation and prevent local temperature overloads.

Accurately measure Seebeck – importance in science and technology

The Seebeck effect enables the direct conversion of heat into electrical energy.

How does a pushrod dilatometer work?

A dilatometer is a measuring device for recording the thermal expansion of a material sample. The thermal expansion coefficient (CTE = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) is calculated from the measurement results.

Crystallization and recrystallization of polymers

The properties of solids depend to a large extent on the arrangement of the particles (atoms and molecules) that make up the substances. If the arrangement is random, the substances are amorphous. In crystalline substances, the particles are arranged at regular intervals and in a fixed pattern.

Curing in thermal analysis

Materials that are processed in a liquid aggregate state generally require a certain amount of time to harden.

Specific heat capacity (Cp) with modulated DSC

The specific heat capacity (cp), often referred to as specific heat, is a fundamental thermophysical property of a material. It says something about the ability to store thermal energy.
