Dynamic Materials Analysis (DMA)

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a technique used to study and characterize materials. The DMA determines changes in sample properties resulting from changes in five experimental variables:

  • temperature
  • time
  • frequency
  • force
  • strain

For electronic packaging, DMA is especially useful for measuring the glass transition temperature (Tg) of laminate materials and capturing mechanical behavior, specifically stress-strain, creep, and stress relaxation, of minute structures composed of polymeric materials, such as die attach, conductive adhesives, anisotropic conductive films (AVCF), and epoxy/graphite composites.
