• A Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) measures elastic and viscous behavior of a material as a function of time and temperature.
• DMA works on the principle of applying a force or a deformation to a sample, then sample’s response, which will be a deformation, or a force is measured.

• DMA provides quantitative measurements that reveal information about thermal transitions (e.g. glass transition, melting, order-disorder transitions of liquid crystalline materials), the stiffness of materials (e.g. storage, loss, and Young’s modulus), shape morphing properties (e.g. actuation and shape memory), dynamic bonding and self-healing properties, adhesion strength, and other material properties.
• It has very sensitive strain and force ranges that make it more suitable for the testing of soft materials (e.g. elastomers, gels, coatings, and foams) as well as precious materials with limited sample sizes.
