Free State of Bavaria supports chip-technology of Linseis and the University of Bayreuth

The excellent cooperation between Linseis Messgeräte GmbH and the University of Bayreuth pays off. Last Tuesday, the Bavarian Research Foundation presented a grant of € 250,000 for the next product development: Chip-DSC with thermobalance.

In recent years, the two project partners have already developed a mini version of the so-called Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), which is used primarily in materials research. The new laboratory device has been equipped with an innovative chip technology that makes it more versatile and delivers faster measurement results. Plastic analyzes are possible in one third of the time, as with a conventional DSC device.

The next product development is working on not only learning when a material decomposes on heating, but also how much mass the material loses.

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.

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.
