& Francis PublishingDynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) has left the domain of the rheologist and has become a prevalent tool in the analytical laboratory. However, information on the use of this important tool is still scattered among a range of books and articles. Novices in the field have to dig through thermal analysis, rheology, and materials texts just to find the basics.
Updated with new material, expanded practical explanations, and new applications, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, Second Edition continues to give chemists, engineers, and materials scientists a starting point for applying DMA to their individual fields. It imparts a clear understanding of how DMA works, its advantages, and possible limitations. Additional topics include stress/strain, data handling, experimental technology, test methods, and data analysis.
One of the only references dedicated to DMA, this accessible and easy-to-read guide gathers the most pertinent information available on this important technique.

Book NewsMenard (materials science, U. of North Texas) is a practicing chemist with research interests in materials science and polymer properties. His text provides the chemist, engineer, and materials scientist with a starting point for understanding where and how dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) can be applied, how it works, and the advantages and limits of the technique. Suitable for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and practitioners, the second edition has been updated with new material, expanded practical explanations, and new applications.
