What Does TMA Stand For?

TMA stands for Thermomechanical Analysis

Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) is a sophisticated analytical technique used to investigate the thermal and mechanical properties of materials as a function of temperature and time. By measuring dimensional changes in a sample under controlled temperature conditions, TMA assesses properties such as thermal expansion, softening points, and glass transition temperatures. This method is invaluable in material science, polymer characterization, and quality control, providing critical insights into the behavior of materials under varying thermal conditions.
