Abstract Polymer composites offered broad engineered applications, however their diversity get restricted owing to fluctuations in thermomechanical properties during heating or cooling hence great concern required prior their applications through thermomechanical analysis (TMA). Traditionally, TMA or dilatometry found to be simple, ideal, reliable, sensitive, excellent and basic thermal analytical technique. TMA provides valuable information on thermal expansion, glass transitions temperature (Tg), softening points, composition and phase changes on material of having different geometries simply by applying a constant force as a function of temperature. This compilation highlights the basics and experimental of TMA for both research and technical applications and also provide literature on TMA of polymers, hybrid composites, nanocomposites and their diverse applications.

聚合物和纤维增强聚合物复合材料的热机械性能综述

摘要 聚合物复合材料提供了广泛的工程应用，但是由于加热或冷却过程中热机械性能的波动，它们的多样性受到限制，因此在通过热机械分析 (TMA) 应用之前需要高度关注。传统上，TMA 或膨胀计被认为是简单、理想、可靠、灵敏、优秀和基本的热分析技术。TMA 可提供有关热膨胀、玻璃化转变温度 (Tg)、软化点、成分和具有不同几何形状的材料的相变的宝贵信息，只需施加作为温度函数的恒定力即可。本汇编重点介绍了 TMA 用于研究和技术应用的基础知识和实验，还提供了有关聚合物、混合复合材料、
