Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis of
Materials (Polymers)
Big Assist: Ioan I. Negulescu
Viscoelasticity
According to rheology (the science of
flow), viscous flow and elasticity are only
two extreme forms of rheology. Other
cases: entropic-elastic (or rubber-elastic),
viscoelastic; crystalline plastic.
SINGLE MAXWELL ELEMENT
(viscoelastic = “visco.”)
All real polymeric materials have
viscoelasticity, viscosity and elasticity in
varying amounts. When visco. is
measured dynamically, there is a phase
shift () between the force applied (stress)
and the deformation (strain) in response.
The tensile stress  and the deformation
(strain)  for a Maxwellian material:

Generally, measurements for visco.
materials are represented as a complex
modulus E* to capture both viscous and
elastic behavior:
E* = E’ + iE”
* = 0 exp(i (t + )) ; * = 0 exp(it)
E*2 = E’2 + E”2
It’s solved in complex domain, but only the
real parts are used.
In dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA, aka
oscillatory shear or viscometry), a
sinusoidal  or  applied.
For visco. materials,  lags behind . E.G.,
solution for a single Maxwell element:
0 = EM   0 / [1 + 22]
E’ = EM 2 2 / [1 + 22] = 0 cos/0
E” = EM   / [1 + 22] = 0 sin/0
 = M/EM = Maxwellian relax. t

Parallel-plate geometry for shearing of viscous
materials (DSR instrument).
The “E”s (Young’s moduli) can all be
replaced with “G”s (rigidity or shear moduli),
when appropriate. Therefore:
G* = G’ + iG"
where the shearing stress is  and the
deformation (strain) is . Theory SAME.
Definition of elastic and viscous materials under shear.
In analyzing polymeric materials:
G* = (0)/(0), ~ total stiffness.
In-phase component of IG*I = shear storage
modulus G‘ ~ elastic portion of input energy
= G*cos
The out-of-phase component, G" represents
the viscous component of G*, the loss of
useful mechanical energy as heat
= G*sin = loss modulus
The complex dynamic shear viscosity * is
G*/, while the dynamic viscosity is
 = G"/ or  = G"/2f
For purely elastic materials, the phase
angle  = 0, for purely viscous materials,
90.
The tan() is an important parameter for
describing the viscoelastic properties; it is
the ratio of the loss to storage moduli:
tan  = G"/ G',
A transition T is detected by a spike in G” or tan().
The trans. T shifts as  changes. This
phenomenon is based on the time-temperature
superposition principle, as in the WLF eq. (aT).
The trans. T  as  (characteristic t ↓)
E.G., for single Maxwell element:
tan = ( )-1 and W for a full period (2/) is:
W =  02 E” = work
Dynamic mechanical analysis of a viscous
polymer solution (Lyocell). Dependence of
tan  on  - due to complex formation.
• DMA very sensitive to T.
• Secondary transitions, observed with
difficulty by DSC or DTA, are clear in DMA.
• Any thermal transition in polymers will
generate a peak for tan, E“, G“
• But the peak maxima for G" (or E") and
tan do not occur at the same T, and the
simple Maxwellian formulas seldom
followed.
DMA of recyclable HDPE. Dependence of tan  on . The
 transition is at 62C, the  transition at -117C.
Dependence of G", G' and tan on  for
HDPE at 180C. More elastic at high !
Data obtained at 2C/min showing Tg ~ -40C (max. tan)
and a false transition at 15.5C due to the nonlinear
increase of T vs. t.
